What Do We Do if We Can't Fit All Our Rubbish Into the Black Bin, as the Bin Lid Has to Be Closed?

Anyone in this situation should contact us for advice on how to reduce the amount of waste they are producing. Any waste left at the side of the bin, will not be taken. In addition, if your bin lid is not completely closed, your bin will not be emptied. If you have excess waste due to a clear out etc. you could take the waste to your local household waste site; commonly known as the tip. Or, donate good quality goods to a charity shop.
