Collection and sorting guidance

Household collection

Use the ward or authorised collection service for the address and follow its presentation schedule.

Recycling and reuse

Keep recoverable dry materials separate where the ward or municipal service provides a collection route.

Food and garden waste

Separate degradable material where the ward programme requires it.

Special waste

Electronics, batteries, lamps, chemicals, medicines, bulky items and construction debris require a dedicated municipal or authorised route.

Before you dispose of an item

  • Check the official source for the exact address and collection day.
  • Confirm accepted materials, opening hours and access conditions before travelling.
  • Keep batteries, electronics, chemicals and medicines out of ordinary household waste.
