Recycling
In 2007/ 08 residents recycled 27% of household waste, a 3% increase since last year! We'd like to say a big "thank you" to all participating residents and ask everyone to continue helping us to reduce the quantity of rubbish we have to send to landfill each year by recycling as much as you can.

What happens to my Smart Sack once it has been collected (750kb)
Refuse sacks and dustbins
We collect refuse at any time from 6am on Monday to Friday. Please put out your refuse for collection either after 9pm on the evening before your collection day, or before 6am on your collection day. Refuse should be put in your front garden or outside your property where it is clearly visible. Please put refuse out in heavy duty refuse sacks or dustbins. Please do not use flimsy carrier bags, kitchen bin liners or put loose items out for collection.
