Green waste collection dates
Once you have subscribed for the green waste service, you can use our postcode checker to find your green bin collection day.
Waste guide
Each year, we produce a Waste Guide with information about all our waste and recycling services. This includes details of what to put in your black, grey and green bins, opening times for our recycling centres and what happens to your waste after we've collected it.
Collection calendars
We have blank collection calendars for our main bin routes and seperate farms and lodges route which you can download and fill in, to keep track of your bin collection day.
Winter collections
We collect green bins less often from December to February, as the level of garden waste decreases. Please see the "Collection calendars" for further details.
Winter means colder weather and green waste can sometimes freeze to the inside of your bin. If your bin cannot be emptied because the waste is stuck or frozen, we cannot treat this as a missed bin. We ask that you please make sure the bin can be emptied on your next scheduled collection day.
We can only make one attempt to collect your bin in each collection round due to the number of properties we need to visit.
Bad weather
Sometimes, we may be unable to collect your green bin due to circumstances beyond out control - snow or icy conditions being an example of this.
If your green bin is missed due to bad weather and you'd like your bin emptied before your next collection day, you must report your missed bin within two working days of your normal collection day. We'll try our best to come back and empty your bin within three days of your report - but we cannot guarantee this.
