What is a Timed Waste Collection?
For residents or businesses who live in flats above shops on busy roads and have no space to store a bin on their property, a bag service is available for recycling and waste.
Living on a timed waste collection road means that you can only put your bags out for collection during your set collection times each day.
If you are currently using a bin that you permanently store on your property, timed collections will not affect you and you should continue to use your bin as normal.
Please note, your collections will start once you receive your first roll of purple and orange bags in July.
How does it work?
- Purple bags are for rubbish only
- Orange bags is for recycling only
- Put your bags out only during the set collection times, which you can find here
- Place your bags under the timed collection signs on your street.
- Tie all bags securely.
Residents who do not follow the correct procedure not only risk their street being littered with household rubbish or recycling, but may also face a fine
Putting rubbish or recycling out on the street for collection at any other time may result in a £200 fixed penalty notice, £1000 fine or prosecution.
