All other rubbish should be bagged up and placed into your Grey Rubbish Bin.

Each bin is emptied on an alternating weekly basis and residents are asked to ensure their bins are ready for collection by 6.30 am.  Crews sometimes have to vary their routes and this can mean that they arrive at your address at different times by having your bin ready by 6.30am this will ensure that your bin is emptied

If your green bin has not been emptied it could mean that it has items in it that cannot be recycled through the wheeled bin collection service. These items must be removed before your bin will be emptied.
