If you are unsure about the arrangements either contact the Customer Service Centre on 01923 776611 or contact your Housing Association who will be able to advise you. If you live in a flat you may have different arrangements, such as communal bins on a rack system. The material will be thoroughly sterilised in the recycling process so washing does not have to be to high hygienic standards. Rinse your recyclables to avoid any smells, attraction of pests, or contamination, and flatten materials to take up less space. If you require a larger or extra recycling bin please contact us. Please use the online service to enquire about your collection day.
