Easier recycling collections have started!
To support the new recycling service, some collection days have changed.
You can now recycle glass bottles and jars through your dry mixed recycling collections.
If you live in a flat, you’ll receive weekly food waste collections. We are working hard to deliver your food caddies. If you have not received your caddy by the end of April, please let us know.
If you were affected by the pause in mixed dry recycling collections, please visit our dedicated page.
