Bin-day rules
Before you put the bins out
- Put bags, wheelie bins and crates at the kerb or assigned collection point by 7:30 am.
- A rubbish bag must weigh no more than 10 kg and only official council bags are collected.
- Some private or inaccessible roads use designated collection points; follow the exact property result or the council's published collection-point instructions.
- If the finder returns no service for an address that normally receives one, contact the council rather than assuming a weekday.
