Refuse bin sizes
Please note in 2013 the Council's refuse and recycling collections policy resulted in a reduction in the size of the standard wheeled bin for refuse from a 240 litre wheeled bin to a smaller 180 litre wheeled bin. Therefore the refuse bin you receive may be smaller than the one you have now.
Important note on replacement garden waste bins
Since 2013 the Council’s refuse and recycling policy permits a maximum limit of one 240 litre wheeled bin per household for compostable garden waste. Some households have two garden bins which dates back to a time where the Council did permit additional bins. Over time this resulted in significant additional time to collect the garden waste being produced.
If any additional garden waste bins are reported as lost or damaged (whatever the reason) they will not be replaced. Damaged second bins will be taken away to be recycled.
Food waste collection trial
