Bin-day rules
Before you put the bins out
- Put bins at the kerb by 7 am on the address's confirmed collection day.
- Good Friday, Christmas Day and New Year's Day can move the remaining collections that week; use the dated result rather than assuming the normal weekday.
- Multi-unit properties may use a shared bin bay and therefore may not receive an individual kerbside day.
