We collect paper, plastic bottles, glass, metal cans, cardboard, textiles and garden waste from every home every two weeks for recycling.

Collection days
We will visit your house on the same day every two weeks - even on bank holidays - to collect your recycling. The only time the collection will change is for the Christmas and New Year bank holidays, and we will tell you about rescheduled collections in December

• If you need a collection calendar please fill in a Refuse/Recycling Calendar online form and we will post one to you
• If you don't know your collection day, please call Customer Services on 01695 577177 or complete a Refuse/Recycling Enquiry online form giving your full address and query
