Bin collections, recycling, street cleaning, business and commercial waste. How to dispose of hazardous waste.

Bin collections

Check when your bin will be collected, what do if it was missed, how to order a new bin and how to get help if you can't put your bins out yourself.

Recycling

Where you can recycle in your area, what you can and cannot recycle and other ways to dispose of your waste.

Waste and recycling harmonisation

We've recently completed a public consultation survey to help us shape the future of our waste and recycling collections. Find out what recommendations have been agreed, how we reached a decision and what will happen next.

Hazardous and clinical waste

There are alternative ways to dispose of items such asbestos, syringes and chemicals, such as brake fluid or print toner.

Bulky waste collections

For items that are too large to go into general rubbish, you can pay for us to remove it from your home or you can look to sell or donate them.
