Rubbish and recycling for houses and flats in converted houses

Rubbish, recycling and food waste

Your bins

If you live in a house, or a flat in a converted house, we will give you:

• a 180-litre black wheelie bin for rubbish

• a 240-litre green wheelie bin for recycling

• a 23-litre silver bin for food waste and a five-litre silver kitchen caddy.

How to use your bins

• Only use your rubbish bin for waste that you can’t recycle. Find out what you can put in your recycling and food waste bins.

• We will collect your recycling and food waste every week, and your rubbish every other week.

• Put your bins at the edge of your property on, or by, the pavement before 6am on your collection day.
