Recycling
The majority of our neighbourhoods have recycling facilities, however if these refuse containers are not used correctly they may be removed by your Local Authority. Often we find that people like to recycle but they are unaware of what is required. The websites listed below will be able to provide you with information and guidance and provide you with alternative locations to recycle in your area.
If you require recycling bags, food waste bags, food caddies or any other items to enable you to start recycling, get in contact with your Local Authority and they will be able to provide with information on how to get them.

Bulk Waste & Green Waste
We do not provide a bulk waste collection, the service charge covers the removal of illegally disposed of waste. We understand it can be challenging to find ways to dispose of household items or green waste.
There are a number of ways you can dispose of your unwanted items, including:
- Donate them - a number of charities will collect furniture and other household items if they are in a reasonable condition
- Freecycle - there are a number of online market places where people will pick up your unwanted items
- Bulk Waste Collection - most Local Authorities provide a bulk waste collection for a fee. It may not be as much as you think!
- Local Tip - in some areas local amenity sites will allow to take household items and furniture and dispose of them free of charge.
You can also use the gov.uk to find your local provider of bulky waste collections
