Rubbish and recycling collection for businesses
Early waste collection during heatwave conditions
Due to the hot weather, waste collection will start at 5am this week (23 to 26 June) to avoid crews working in the hottest part of the day.
Please make sure your bins are out by 5am on your usual collection day - put them out the night before if easier. Report missed collections as usual, and we'll aim to collect as soon as possible.
We have a duty to collect commercial waste if requested and must charge for this service. Our charges apply to both waste and recycling collections and can be significantly higher than those of privately operating licenced waste carriers operating locally.
Recycling collections cover mixed paper, card, glass bottles and jars, cans, food/drinks cartons and plastic bottles, pots tubs and trays, and a separate food waste recycling collection.
We strongly advise that you get quotes from privately operating licenced waste carriers to check which can offer you the best service at an acceptable price.
