Hard and green waste collections allow you to dispose of bulk garden and organic waste, and general household junk.

      • Waste must be on the verge before 7am of collection week
      • Waste should only be placed on your verge no earlier than 2 weeks prior to the collection date
      • Keep waste clear of reticulation, footpaths, fences, street signs and corners
      • The contractor will only check your kerb once
      • Don’t obstruct your normal bin service or the line of sight of pedestrians, cyclists and cars
      • Don’t place your waste on vacant properties or reserves as it will not be collected.
