Street Property Recycling

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

Green box

• Paper and cardboard
• Glass
• Metal tins and cans
• Plastic bottles

Food waste container

• Meat and fish scraps
• Fruit and vegetable peelings
• Eggs and egg shells
• Dairy products
• Cut flowers
• Tea bags and coffee grinds

Green waste bag

• Grass clippings
• Small tree branches
• Garden weeds
• Leaves and plants
• Prunings and hedge trimmings

You may wish to mark your containers with your property number to keep your own container. Please leave everything loose in your container and do not separate items into bags.

Collection times

All your recycling, food and green waste is collected on the same day in single split-body vehicle, making it as easy and simple as possible for you to recycle. Please ensure that your green box, food waste container and green waste bag are placed out for collection at ground level and are visible by 8am on your collection day.

Replacement containers, missed collections and further information

Please use the General Enquiries link on the right of this page for replacement containers, information flyers about the service or to report missed collections or problems.
