Brown bin collections

Your latest brown bin collection date can be found on our household collections page.

  • the brown bin is emptied every week
  • we empty bins between 7am and 4.30pm
  • bins need to be at the boundary of your property with the handle facing towards the road, no later than 7am
  • number all your bins so they are not mistaken for your neighbours’ bins
  • make sure all bin lids are fully closed
  • return your bin to your property as soon as you can after it has been emptied
  • if your bin is missed, contact us within 48 hours of your collection day
  • no side waste with the brown bin
  • your bin should not be overfilled with heavy items, as heavy bins cannot be emptied

If you are on a brown bin round, you are unable to have a food bin as the vehicle is unable to lift it.
