FAQs

How will you stop wheelie bins cluttering up pavements?

We do not expect residents who live in properties with no front garden to use wheelie bins, and will not be delivering bins to them. These residents will instead get branded sacks.

In general terms, we expect residents to take all reasonable steps to avoid a nuisance or a danger from obstructing the footway.

Although we will try to persuade people to put their bin out on the day of collection only, we do have powers under recent legislation to take action against those who place waste out too early or who leave containers out too long, and we are employing enforcement staff for this purpose.
