The waste and recycling collection scheme is an alternate weekly collection scheme, collecting rubbish one week and recyclables the next week. The majority of households are provided with two wheeled bins. A green bin for rubbish and a black bin for recyclables. If you have limited space and do not have room to accommodate wheeled bins please contact us.
