Changes to Bin Collection Days

Grey bins

Blue bins

Remember, all these common Christmas items go in your black bin:

• Mince pie/foil wrappers
• Plastic food trays/punnets
• Food waste
• Tinsel
• Plastic/metal sweet or biscuit tubs
• Christmas crackers
• Plastic bags

For wrapping paper, do the scrunch test – if you scrunch up wrapping paper and it stays in a ball, it can be placed in your recycling bin. If it expands then it needs to be placed in your black bin.

Christmas trees

If you have subscribed to our garden waste service you can either:

• Chop up your tree and place it in the green bin

or

• Place your Christmas trees out but leave your paid for bin next to the tree so we can see you have subscribed to the garden waste service.

From the bathroom this includes shower gels or shampoo and conditioner bottles, hand soaps and cosmetic bottles, plastic household cleaning fluid bottles, empty aerosol and deodorant cans and cardboard toiletry boxes, toilet roll tubes and tooth paste boxes.
