Recycling - Yellow Bin

The yellow recycling bin goes out on the same day as the maroon glass crate. They are collected every two weeks, alternating with the red waste bin.

Please make sure you have your bin and crate ready on the kerb by 7am on collection day.

Do not overpack the bin - keep items loose.

Leave your bin out until 5pm if it is not emptied.

To confirm your collection day and which bin is being collected, visit our collection day webpage:
