Collections from Libraries

From Tuesday 06 2021 April, libraries will stock replacement recycling / food bags and containers again.

You will need to phone the library in advance to order items and arrange a time to pick them up as stock will be limited and available only on a click and collect basis.  

Please do not visit a library without a pre-booked timeslot. If the bag or container you require has a charge, please bring the correct money as library staff are unable to handle change at this time.

Some libraries do not stock the full range of items, please check the list below to see what is available at each library:
