Getting rid of your waste correctly

Household waste (rubbish, recycling, garden waste)

We collect household rubbish every week. Put it out in your black refuse bin (or communal bin). From summer 2024, we'll be moving to fortnightly rubbish collections for residents with a black refuse bin.

We collect recycling every two weeks. Put it out in your blue-lid bin (or communal recycling bin or clear sacks). If you're not sure whether something can be recycled, check our recycling directory.

If you're subscribed to garden waste collections, we'll collect your green waste every two weeks between April and November. Put your green waste out in your garden waste bin.

There's a new way to check your bin collection dates this year.

If you have too much household waste, you can book an appointment to take it to the Household Waste Recycling Centre at Haverton Hill.
