Recycling, rubbish and waste
We provide a wide range of waste and recycling services. These include household refuse, garden waste and kerbside recycling collections. We have various types of recycling banks across the city and two household waste recycling centres. In addition to a household service, we also run commercial waste and recycling collections for businesses.
