Leave your bins out for collection in a clearly visible place at the edge of your property by 6.30am on collection day. Please note we work as normal on bank holiday Mondays and Good Friday. What happens if a collection is missed?
It's really important to put the right thing in the right bin. What can I do if the Council can't recycle it?
