Is everyone aware of these changes? We haven't had any information through the letterbox yet.

Basically we'll be getting food waste bins (collected weekly) and the existing black bins will only be collected fortnightly. Recycling will continue to be weekly.

​From July there will be big changes to rubbish and recycling collections.

What is changing?

Free food waste collections

Anyone who currently has their own rubbish and recycling wheelie bins (mostly those who live in a house or a flat in a converted house) will get:

a small food waste bin to go alongside their other bins
a smaller kitchen caddy for food waste.
This is a brand-new weekly collection service and is free of charge.

Changes to black bin collections

Collections of non-recyclable rubbish will switch to fortnightly for most properties and there will be some changes to collection days. Recycling collections will remain weekly.

Everyone affected will get:

a letter explaining the changes.
instructions on how to use the new service
a calendar of collection days.
Recycling

We will continue to collect your recycling every week.
