Changes to bin collections

Bin collection changes due to severe weather

We'll always do our best to collect your waste. During severe weather conditions, it will sometimes take us longer than usual.

Our website has information about what you should do if your bin hasn't been collected due to severe weather, why we may have stopped collecting bins, how you can help with bin collections in severe weather and more.

Changes to plastic recycling from October 2024

From Monday, 14 October 2024, you can recycle a wider range of plastics in your mixed recycling bin (light green bin with a blue lid).

Unplanned or missed bin collection changes

There may be unplanned changes we need to make to our bin collection schedule. For example, we may not be able to empty bins if there is a blocked lane or we have vehicle breakdowns.
