About your collections
Collections every week
We collect your food and garden waste in your green-lidded bin every week.
We also collect small waste electrical items, low-energy light bulbs, vapes, batteries, textiles and paired shoes every week. Put them in separate plastic carrier bags and leave them on top of your bin to be collected.
Alternate weekly collections
Your recycling collections alternate on a weekly basis with your black bin collection. For example, recycling sacks and blue boxes are collected on one week and your black bin the next.
This system is known as alternate weekly collections or AWC.
