How can I recycle my business's green waste?
The green waste will be collected from the kerbside in a Brown lidded 360 litre bin on a specified collection day. The bins can be uplifted every fortnight from April to November and every 4 weeks from December to March. Monthly or seasonal lifts may be available.
The bin will be marked with a ¾ fill marker to prevent weight problems and should be presented with the lid closed at kerbside by 7.30am on the calendar date with no excess side waste.
