Easter bin collections

Currently, there are no changes to your rubbish and recycling bin collections – this includes the Easter Bank holiday.

To check when your bin is due to be collected click here, entering your postcode.

Please make sure you are recycling correctly.  Putting the wrong item in your recycling bin is as bad as not recycling at all, so please make sure you’re getting it right.

So when it comes to Easter egg packaging, the cardboard box can be flattened and recycled.

The plastic and tin foil should not be put in your recycling bin.

More information on what you can recycle can be found here.
