We have a number of recycling and refuse services and options available to customers.

This webpage is where you can find all of the relevant forms to purchase, sign-up for, cancel and renew all the services related to recycling and refuse.

If you can't find what you're looking for here, head to the recycling and waste webpage or check out our recycling and refuse FAQs.

Please note: Bins should be presented before 6am on collection days at your property boundary – this is where your property meets the pavement. There are some exceptions for assisted collections when our waste partners Serco have permission to go onto the property to collect the bins.
