Changes to your kerbside recycling collection services from March 2026
From March 2026 we are changing how we collect your recycling:
- You will have a NEW green bin for paper, card and cardboard.
- Your blue bin will only be for plastic bottles, tubs and trays, steel and aluminium cans, and cartons.
- There may be a change to the day we collect your blue, green and grey bins. These will be emptied on a three-weekly cycle.
Delivery of your new Green bin
- Green bins will be delivered between mid-January and the end of February 2026.
- Green bins will be delivered to the boundary of residential properties. In the case of an assisted pullout service, bins will be delivered directly to where they are stored.
- You will receive a letter notifying you of the change of service. If your collection day changes, we will let you know.
- For some properties, alternative shared recycling facilities will be provided, and you will be contacted separately regarding these.
- Existing communal recycling bins will be converted to collect either paper and card or plastics, cans and cartons.
