Bins and rubbish

Bins and rubbish

Rubbish and bin collections are arranged by your local council - so it's a good idea to check their website to find out when your collection day is.

To help keep the bin areas clean and ensure your waste is collected by the council / disposed of correctly, please:

  1. Bag all your items in tied black bin bags. If your item is in anything other than a black bag then the council won’t take it away (this includes shopping bags, e.g. Tesco, Sainsbury's etc).
  2. Don’t dump large items such as mattresses, fridges and old furniture around the estate - the council won’t collect them.
  3. Don’t leave things next to the bin. They won’t go anywhere! Take big cardboard boxes or other large items to your local recycling centre if you can.
  4. Report, report, report. If you see someone fly-tipping, let us know. When we have evidence, we report and challenge those who do fly-tip to help prevent it from happening again.
