Household waste

Do It OnlineLook up refuse and recycling collection dates

Most residents have a grey wheeled bin for landfill waste, a green garden waste wheeled bin and 3 separate recycle boxes. A small number of properties do still use their own black bags, if you do not have a wheeled bin and need to know more about the provision of black bin bags, please read the guidance pages.

Kerbside recycling collections are provided by the council or our partners Friends of St Nicholas Fields, who collect within the city walls.

To find out about collection of household waste, garden waste and your recycling service, please use the links on the left.

Bank Holiday collections

There are no changes to your normal refuse, recycling or garden waste collections on any Bank Holidays in 2013 (with the exception of Christmas and New Year).  We will collect your waste as normal on Good Friday, Easter Monday and the other Bank Holidays during the spring and summer.
