What bins and boxes should I have?

Every household should have:

One grey wheelie bin. Orange bin bags are provided if the property is not suitable for a wheelie bin
At least three recycling boxes
If your property is subscribed to the garden waste collection service, at least one green wheeled bin
Please note that we no longer issue bio bags - instead you can subscribe to our garden waste collection service

To help avoid your bins and boxes going missing please label them with your house number/name and bring them in as soon as possible after collection.

Call customer services on 01524 582491 if you do not have the correct allocation.
