  • On collection days, place bins at least one metre apart and clear of cars, trees and other obstacles.
  • Your bin lids should close completely, and nothing should protrude out of the top.
  • Face bin openings to the road and place bins no further than one metre from the kerb or road’s edge.
  • So, you don’t miss a collection, remember to place your bin(s) at the kerb the evening before collection.

  • if you used an old style bin (black base) or old 120L recycling bin;
  • the bin does not have a coloured lid;
  • the bin contained items that are not permitted; and/or
  • if your bin is too heavy or overfilled.
