Timed recycling and waste collections
Some streets have daily timed collections for rubbish and recycling. All the rubbish and recycling will be collected via sacks from directly outside your door each day at the specific times of day. Rubbish and recycling must be kept inside the property at all other times.
This page lists the times and weekdays for drop offs for timed collections. Collections are made within 2 hours of the drop off time. Drop off times vary from street to street.
