Household Waste

Household Waste  Welcome to the Household Waste Information page!

         For information relating to your recycling
        and general waste bins please look at the
        list of information pages on the right-hand
                              side of this page.

    Here you will find all sorts of useful information   
        related to all your household waste issues. 



 Important information which relates to all your bins:
 
  • Your wheeled bins should be ready for collection on your designated collection day by 7.30 in the morning. 
  • You should leave your bin ready for collection at the designated presentation point-usually the front edge of  your property, at the nearest point to the pavement, footpath or highway. We will return it to the same place after it has been emptied.
  • You can put your bins out the night before your collection day, to save time in the morning. An advisable time is 6pm onwards. Please make sure they do not obstruct the highway.
  • In some cases residents can form their own presentation points at the end of suitable alleys:
              - Bins must not be blocking the alleyway access 
              - The bins must be visible to the operatives on collection day
