No - because we maintain a black bag collection service. We have no plans to provide a wheeled bin collection service for refuse at present. But you can store your waste in a wheeled bin if you chose. If you choose to store your black bags in a bin it must be removed from the bin before collection by our Refuse Collection Service.
Please ensure that your refuse if out for 7.00 am on your day of collection.
Because we are committed to recycling. Research has shown that wheelie bins actually increase waste and reduce recycling. We maintain a black bag collection service and have no plans at this point in time to adopt wheelie bins for refuse collection.
We do however, supply different bags / containers for various waste items so that you can recycle.
They can be purchased from any supermarket, market or shop.
