Changes to waste collections from June 2026

All new recycling receptacles will be provided to residents stamped/stickered with clear signage regarding the type of recycling stream it is for residents who may struggle differentiating between colours. The Council will also be able to offer advice and support in relation to other visual impairments if residents contact the Waste and Recycling Team directly.  

Residents are already able to apply for assisted collections and this service will remain. Not all the bins/boxes need to be put out at the same time, which should help but, where these changes do create a concern, residents can apply for an assisted collection and contact our Waste and Recycling Team for further guidance and support.

Those who already have an assisted collection will continue to receive this service. Officers may make contact to ensure that this is still required. Anyone who feels that they may require assistance can apply to the Council.

Clinical waste collections will continue to be available for residents that require it.
