Bin collections update - hot weather
Due to the exceptionally hot weather this week, bin collections on Thursday 13 August may take place earlier than usual.
This is to help our crews avoid the hottest times of the day as temperatures are set to rise to over 30 degrees.
Please put your bins out the night before, or no later than 5am, to make sure they are collected.
Thank you for your understanding.
Please do not put the following in your general rubbish bin or black sack:
- Recyclable items
- Acids
- Corrosive substances
- Oil waste
- Paint tins
- Syringes and infectious waste
- Garden waste
- Rubble, stone, soil and gravel
- DIY and construction waste, such as plaster board
- Asbestos
- Commercial waste
- Hot ashes
- Bulky waste
- Hazardous waste
- Electrical items
If you're not sure about an item, use the recycle checker to find out if we can recycle it, which bin to use or where to take it.
