Bins and recycling

Green garden bin collections paused

Due to an increase in Covid-19 related staff absences, we need to temporarily pause the green garden bin collections for a two-week period from Monday 19th July 2021 - Monday 2nd August 2021. If you cannot store green waste during this period, please use one of the city’s recycling centres.
