Occasionally our vehicles break down. To ensure your collections are fulfilled we send in two freighters, this means not all your bins are collected at the same time. There will be a delay between collecting the different items. Please continue to leave the unemptied containers out for collection. In the unlikely event your bin has been missed please complete the missed collection form.

Why not subscribe to our recycling and waste email alerts? Simply enter your email address and we'll send a reminder the day before your collection is due. We'll even let you know of issues affecting collections.
