Waste items which can be recycled
To help keep our crews safe in the hot weather, collections will start earlier on Monday 22, Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24 June. Please make sure all containers are out by 6am on these days. This includes food waste, recycling, rubbish, garden waste (if you subscribe) and clinical waste collections.

Our recycling A-Z is a useful tool that allows you to search for items and see whether they can be recycled and which container they go in.
We offer a garden waste collection service that households can subscribe to. We can collect your grass cuttings, leaves, branches (up to 30cm long) and weeds fortnightly.
We offer a bulky waste collection service for items that are too large for the normal household rubbish or recycling collections. There is a charge for this service.
