Alternative sack collections

As part of our new bin service from 1 June 2026 we will provide:

• purple sacks for rubbish that cannot be recycled or composted  
• a 5 litre kitchen caddy and a 23 litre kerbside caddy for food waste which will be collected weekly

We will collect sacks on a two-week cycle as follows:  

Rubbish and garden waste week:

• up to 3 purple rubbish sacks  
• unlimited brown paper sacks for garden waste  
• food waste caddy  

Recycling week:

• unlimited clear sacks for mixed recycling  
• food waste caddy  

We will only collect the official recycling and waste collection sacks and caddies issued to each household identified by our logo. This is to make sure that they are compatible with our disposal facility, are safe for our crews to empty, and in the case of rubbish, are not an excessive amount.
