Please Help Your Recycling Crew To Recycle Your Waste Efficiently

It is helpful to the recycling crew if you can separate the different coloured glass into separate bags.
Please place your green box on the kerbside before 7 am in the morning of the day of collection.

Please bear in mind that if we can�t see your green box we can�t empty it.
Please also take care not to cause any obstruction to pedestrians or vehicles.

For health and safety reasons, please keep your green box clean.

Green Box Collections

Green Boxes are emptied every fortnight on your normal refuse collection day.�
