Weekly Sack Collection Service
- Refuse must be presented in a non returnable refuse sack.
- Refuse must be presented on or adjacent to the nearest suitable point of the adopted highway.
- Refuse must be presented by 7am on the day of collection. Although operatives may normally attend later on in the day, if the routes need to be changed for operational reasons such as road closures, breakdowns etc, the council cannot guarantee collection of materials which were not made available from 7am. Refuse is the responsibility of the householder until the day of collection and it is an offence to deposit refuse on the highway prior to the day of collection under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, and does carry a fine on conviction.
- If possible, please wrap any broken glass or sharp implements in newspaper as this can cause injuries to refuse collectors. It is also helpful to mark the bag to forewarn the collectors.
- To check when your refuse is collected please either use the link to the right or contact the customer contact team on the details below.
