If your green box gets full we will take the equivalent volume as side waste. Either place in a box or tie a bundle with string. It’s collected every week for most of the city (twice as many collections as last year)
If you’re getting a new sofa and your old one is in good condition contact us on 01633 216 855 and we may be able to collect.
If you aren’t already using our food waste service this is a good time to start. If your old turkey goes in your general waste it will be sitting there for up to two weeks.
Even if it no longer works we can recycle small electrical items from old phones to computers. If it works consider taking it to the Tip Shop or our reuse centre.
Cards go in green box with cardboard. Wrapping paper goes in blue box with paper (please no wrapping foil).
Sorry we do not collect these but many supermarkets, some shops, and the civic amenity site on Docks Way, take them.
These can be chopped up and put in the garden waste bin for collection in March, or taken to the civic amenity site on Docks Way or booked in as a bulky waste collection from the Council (£6.00 fee applies) .
We are as amazed as you probably are at what people will buy. Someone out there will love the thing you aunt gave you.
A few might still be knocking around from last year; in which case you have our sympathy. Despite our new trucks we still can’t take them (some might even be classified as hazardous waste).
