Q: Where should I put my containers out for collection?
Recycling and refuse is generally collected as follows:
- semis and detached properties - at the front edge of the property nearest the kerbside;
- terraced properties - at the back, outside the gate. Some areas will have dedicated collection points for bins, or have a special collection arrangement, e.g. back to backs. If you are unsure, please contact our helpline on 01282 661743
Bins and boxes must not be left out after collection. Please ensure you keep them within your property at all times other than collection day.
