Keep It Out! Black bags are for non-recyclable waste only. Recycle all accepted materials in the bags and bins provided as shown to keep them out of landfill.

If your bag is stickered and left uncollected you have made a mistake. Remove it from the kerbside to store/ sort for the next collection or you could receive a fixed penalty notice.

Many other items can be recycled at Recycling Centres. For a full list of locations and items accepted at each go to

We offer a chargeable ‘bulky waste’ collection for large items of furniture and white goods. Only place these items out if you have booked a collection. Contact us via details on page 18 to book.
