Your rubbish and recycling is all collected on the same day. To find out your collection day, please put your postcode or street name into ‘Services in your area’ in the top right hand side of this page or click on Services in your area and enter your postcode or street name.

Please make sure you put your waste out for collection by 7am. Place it at the front edge of your property making sure that it is visible and accessible for the crews. If you have to place your rubbish on the pavement for collection, please make sure that it does not obstruct the pavement for pedestrians, wheelchairs or buggies.  It should not be left out on the pavement before 8pm the evening before your collection.  Anyone putting their rubbish out at the wrong time or place may be fined.

If your collection is missed, you can report it to us by going to the Report a missed collection page.

Please note we collect on all Bank Holidays except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.  For more information please go to Bank Holidays.
