Access problems

recycling boxes on kerbside

Your box is still on your property.
We cannot trespass on your property even if we can see your boxes.  This can be frustrating but the law says that anything on your property (even the contents of your recycling box) is still owned by you and we could be accused of stealing. Problems carrying your box? You might be eligible for assisted collections – please contact us.
