Recycling for houses and converted flats
Houses and many houses converted into flats have weekly recycling and rubbish collections collected at ground level from the edge of their property.

Collections
If you can't find collections for your property, it may be because you get the same service as a flat above a shop or business. Please check their collection times instead.
You must place your recycling and rubbish containers at the edge of your property at ground level by 6am on the day of your collection.
Check which containers you should use.
