The Council encourages residents to reduce, reuse and recycle as much household rubbish as possible.
Recycling rubbish conserves resources, saves energy and helps protect the environment by reducing the amount of rubbish in landfill sites.
The Council provides waste, recycling and food waste bins and decides on the number and size of bins provided. You may need to pay for extra or replacement bins.
If you live in a block of flats, you can recycle your rubbish using the Council provided communal facilities. If you misuse the recycling bins and put the wrong things in them, they become contaminated. This could lead to an increase in your service charge.
