Check your collection day
Potential disruption due to industrial action
There is currently industrial action by Unite the Union. We expect some disruption but will try to minimise this.
Put your household waste (grey lid) bin out on your normal collection day. If it is not collected, leave it out and we will collect it as soon as we can.
Recycling collections are suspended every day during industrial action so do not put your recycling bin (blue lid) out for collection.
You might find it useful to:
- understand more about the industrial action , how this might affect your bin collections, and what you can or cannot do with your waste during this time
- report a missed binor sack collection
- book a slot at a household recycling centre
Check your waste collection days using your postcode and address
Read about what goes in your bins and how to put your bins out.
