Street Property Recycling

The council is making a significant effort to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill. To do so, it's providing more recycling services for residents to use than ever before.

Residents living in street properties, such as house, have three recycling collection services:

• green box:
  paper, glass, tins, cans, plastic bottles and cardboard
• green waste:
  grass clippings, tree branches (small), garden weeds, leaves, plants, prunings and hedge trimmings
• food waste:
  meat and fish scraps, fruit and vegetable peelings, eggs and egg shells, dairy products, cut flowers, tea bags and coffee grinds

All of these collections take place on the same day, to make it as easy and simple as possible for residents to recycle.

There is also a new service available for borough residents who live above shops:

• recycling above shops:
  paper and cardboard, plastic bottles, cans and glass (collected every evening)
