Recycling and waste changes

A stackable system: Introducing the Trolibocs

The most reliable method to achieve high-quality recycling is to ensure materials like paper and glass are collected separately at the kerbside. To do this efficiently, we are introducing the Trolibocs - a system of stackable boxes for households to present most of their recyclables every week (available to all households on the wheelie bin service).

Households on the wheelie bin service will also receive a blue reusable bag for cardboard recycling.

Find out more about the Trolibocs dry recycling system.

Non-recyclable waste collections

From June 2024, we will collect your non-recyclable waste every 4 weeks from your 240-litre blue or black wheelie bin (or every week from your black reusable bag / pink sack).
