When are my bins collected?

Please note there will be no collection on Christmas Day or New Year's Day.

Collections in both of these weeks will be one day later, so if your collection is Wednesday, it will be collected Thursday; if your collection is Thursday, it will be collected Friday and if your normal collection is on a Friday, it will be collected on Saturday. If you are unsure put your bin out as usual!

Search for your next bin collection or download and print a bin collection calendar (below). To find out what to put in each kerbside bin here.

Bin placement

Place bins out the night before your collection day to ensure your bins are emptied (or by 6am on the day of collection):

  • Place bins close to the gutter with the handles facing your house.
  • Place your bins apart, ideally 1m.
  • Ensure only permitted items are in your bin.
  • Do not overfill or place anything on top of the bins.
  • Place smaller bins closer to the side of the driver so they are visible.
