I need a new white sack, recycling box or garden waste sack?

If you need any new containers, please use this link to order replacements.

Can I get help to put out my recycling?

Yes. If you are physically unable to put your recycling containers at the collection point, we can arrange an Assisted Collection.

What if my recycling hasn't been collected?

• Have you checked to make sure you have sorted your items correctly?
• Did you put your recycling out before 7.30 a.m. on the day of collection?
• Have you checked to make sure your recycling is not contaminated, for example by broken glass, or dirty items?

If the answer to all of these questions is yes, please Report a Missed Collection.

What do I do with items you can't collect?

If you need to dispose of items which can't be collected in the containers or sacks, please take it to the Household Waste Recycling Centre.
