Recycling and rubbish

Collections are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances such as bad weather and major events.

Recycling and food waste are all collected every week. Refuse is collected every two weeks.

There will be Christmas tree collections points around the Borough between Monday 5 January 2026 and Monday 12 January 2026 only.

If your bin has not been emptied you can report it on the form below the day after your scheduled collection day. (from 00:01).

We offer a collection service for the removal of large household items and non-commercial items.

Order a bin, report a damaged bin or order waste and recycling bags.

Every time you visit the Stafferton Way site in a van or commercial-type vehicle, you will need to apply for a permit.

We provide a free household collection of clinical waste. We do not operate a commercial clinical waste collection scheme.

You can reduce what you buy or you can reuse or repair items you already have to avoid throwing them away.

Every business has a legal ‘duty of care’ to ensure that any waste it produces or handles is stored, transported, treated, reprocessed and disposed of safely.

Assisted collections are for residents who are unable to move their bins to the edge of their property.

Never put anything hot in your bin, such as fireworks, sparklers, bonfire/BBQ ashes or disposable BBQs.

We have produced guidance aimed specifically for developers for the provision of refuse and recycling storage for all new residential developments.
