Presenting your recycling boxes
Your recycling must be in the blue and black/green recycling boxes that we provide. Boxes should be left just within the boundary of your property by 6am on the day of collection.
Please do not arrange to have parcels or packages left in recycle boxes. We will not accept responsibility for damage caused or for loss of property if this happens.
Cardboard must be flattened and presented inside your existing recycling box. It may be necessary to cut larger items up to ensure they fit in the box.
