Rubbish and recycling is changing next year.
A new weekly kerbside rubbish and fortnightly recycling service, paid for through rates, will be in place from 1 July 2021.
How will it work?
Recycling - For recycling, you will get a 240-litre wheelie bin for mixed recycling, and a 45-litre crate for glass both collected fortnightly.
Rubbish - For rubbish you will get to choose from three options:
• A 120-litre bin collected weekly (default option)
• An 80-litre bin collected weekly
• A 240-litre bin collected weekly
Green waste - You’ll also get to choose whether you want a 240L green waste bin, collected every four weeks.
What’s next?
We’ll be in contact with you later this year about bin options.
If you have a contract for your current rubbish collection, make sure you cancel it before 1 July 2021.
If you are a landlord you may wish to get in touch with your tenants soon about these changes.

We invite you to sign up to receive information as we begin to roll-out the new system.

Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.
