When are my bins emptied?

Your bins are emptied on alternate weeks. When there is a public holiday, the collection days will be revised. To see when your bins are emptied, visit Find my nearest, enter your postcode into the Search for a location box and select your address. Your bin collection information will be in the Waste and recycling section.

Things to remember
We always try to collect your bin at a similar time each week but now and again we may have to change our rounds. You can help us by making sure that:
- you put the right items in the right bin
- your bin is put out by 6.15am the morning of your collection day
- your bin is placed next to the kerb with the lid shut (if it is open it can affect the lifting machinery and it might not be emptied)
- any recycling that will not fit in your blue bin is put in council issued blue sacks; we will collect a maximum of two.
Occasionally, the bin collections can be affected by weather.
