Early waste collection during heatwave conditions
Due to the hot weather, waste collection will start at 5am this week (23 to 26 June) to avoid crews working in the hottest part of the day.
Please make sure your bins are out by 5am on your usual collection day - put them out the night before if easier. Report missed collections as usual, and we'll aim to collect as soon as possible.

Use this form to buy net covers which will keep your household recycling secure for collections. The covers are elasticated string nets which stretch tightly over the top of your blue and black recycling boxes. This stops contents from spilling out or blowing away.
