Using your trade garden waste bin

• Place waste directly in the bin. Do not use carrier bags or bin liners.
• Make sure the lid closes fully. This allows the vehicle to lift and empty your bin safely. 
• Don't overfill your bin. It must not be too heavy for us to move safely.
• Your brown bin will be collected weekly from mid March until mid November.
