Fortnightly Collection Days

Bin maintenance and placement

Every recyclable item put out for collection is one less piece of waste going to landfill.

Your contribution means that you are helping to close the loop - recyclable items are put back into the system and manufactured into new items, making better use of our resources.

  • Any plastic container with code 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7
