Recycling and waste

Recycling

This page has lots of information on recycling including our kerbside service, a list of recycling points, and lots of help with how to reduce, reuse and recycle.

Our recycling service is changing in October, instead of two boxes and a bag, residents will have two wheeled bins with different coloured lids. You can read more about these changes here, or view our information leaflet online.

See the recycling roadshow timetable here.

Garden waste collections

We run a fortnightly garden waste collection service between March and November.

Assisted collections
