Lilac sacks for rubbish
- lilac sacks are for non-recyclable waste, collected on the same day as green bins
- delivered twice a year, in March/April and October/November - recycle as much as possible to make them last six months

How to put out your sacks
Put your sacks out for collection in the same way as bins. For guidance, see Putting your bins out for collection.
