Residential Rubbish Collections

Residential Rubbish CollectionsSearch for your refuse collection day, read a guide on how to report a missed bin and see changes to collections due to Bank Holidays.

We ask bins to be placed out for emptying before 6am on the day of collection but no earlier than the evening before.

Bins left out for longer can become a target for pests, birds and vermin, and are unsightly for neighbours and the community.

Please enter your street name and town and then click on Search.




Missed Collections

If your refuse has been missed for collection, please see how to report it to us below:


Assisted Collections

If you are elderly, infirm or disabled and do not have any family members or friends who can help you to put out your rubbish, you can apply for an assisted collection.

This means our collection staff will be able to collect your waste from a location at your property that is more suitable for your situation, as normally your rubbish must be placed at the front boundary of your property for collection.

You can arrange an assisted waste collection by contacting us. One of our officers will then come to your property, assess your needs and, if you qualify, we would agree a collection place for your rubbish.


Discarded Items

If you are unsure of what can and can't be disposed of amongst your household waste, please refer to our pages covering


Bank Holiday Collections

Changes to waste and recycling collections will appear here in due course. Please check back again closer to the next Bank Holiday for any forthcoming changes. You can also receive this information by signing up to our e-newsletter service, or checking the back page of our residents' magazine, District News.
