Place your items on the footpath the Sunday prior to your collection week. Fines may be issued for waste placed on the footpath earlier than this date.

Neatly stack your waste as close to the kerb as possible. A limit of 2 cubic metres of waste per household applies.

Keep your hard waste safe and tidy

It is your responsibility to ensure that the hard waste outside your property is placed and maintained safely until collected - even if it is moved by other people.

Put your waste out the weekend before it is due for collection - no sooner
Leave plenty of room on the footpath for people to walk past
Don't leave anything sharp or hazardous on the footpath
Remove all doors from fridges and freezers
Don't stack your waste too high
Lie taller items down (e.g. wardrobes)
