If you live in a house or converted flat, your:

Presenting your bins for collection
To make sure your bins are emptied:
- put all your rubbish inside your wheelie bin - the lid must close
- excess recyclable material will only be collected if placed next to your brown bin in clear bin bags (not carrier bags)
- cardboard will only be collected if tied together and placed next to your brown bin
- don't put the wrong materials in your bin - check our guidance on what goes in your bins
- put your bins outside by 6am on the day of collection
Missed collections
If your bin collection was missed you can report it and book another collection from 10pm on the collection day until 6pm the following working day.
