General advice if your recycling and waste has not been collected

If recycling and waste in your street has been collected but yours has been missed, there may be a reason we have not collected it:

• Your recyling and waste was not presented on time. Please make sure you have placed your recycling and waste at your collection point before 7am on your collection day. You can check your collection dates and sign up for collection reminders online.

• Incorrect items were included. Please make sure you place items in their correct containers. You can find out what to put in your recycling containers online. You can also look up items in our A - Z of recycling​ to see how they can be recycled or disposed of safely.

• Your containers were too full. Containers must be closed for collection. We will not collect additional recycling and waste around or on top of bins.

If we have not collected your recycling and waste for any of these reasons you will need to correctly present it on the next scheduled collection day. We will not come back to collect it.

You can also take your recycling and waste to a Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC).
