Recycling and rubbish
Household recycling and rubbish collection service and collection times, what you can recycle, how to report a problem, and street cleaning.
We’re working hard to keep recycling and rubbish services going, but we need your help to stay safe: if you are self-isolating with Covid-19 symptoms store personal waste (e.g. used tissues) and disposable cleaning cloths in a disposable rubbish bag, place this into another bag, keep it separate from other waste, and wait 72 hours before putting it in your external bin.
