What do I do with my rubbish if the roads are too icy for the crew to get to it on the scheduled day of collection?

Wheeled bin collections

Please follow your calendar, putting out the correct bin for that week and leaving it out all week until the bin is emptied. Our crews will keep trying to get to you, weather permitting.

Please note that it may be necessary to dispose of recycling to landfill to ensure that collections return to normal as quickly as possible.

Black sack collections

If they’re not collected by the middle of the afternoon, please take your black sacks in to stop animals or seagulls getting to them. Please put your black sacks back out by 6am each weekday until they are collected. Our crews will keep trying to get to you, weather permitting. Ideally, protect your black sacks by placing them in normal dustbins or covering them with an old sheet or tablecloth. Please do not leave your black sacks out all night.

Paper and cardboard collections

Please take your paper and cardboard in and keep it until the next scheduled collection.

Blue recycling bag collections
