Sack only or Kerbside collections
If you live in a flat with a sack only, or kerbside collection, then your sacks will be collected together at the same time, but placed into separate compartments on the waste collection vehicle.
If you have this type of collection then you will also be able to recycle household batteries and small electrical items.
Communal bin collections
If you live in a flat with communal rubbish and recycling bins, these will be collected separately. Please ensure that recycling (orange) and rubbish (black) are placed into the correct bins, which are clearly marked.
If you have this type of collection, you cannot leave your household batteries and small electricals out for collection. You can recycle them at supermarkets and some shops. To find out where use our recycling locator.
You can also recycle batteries and small electricals at Gerpins Lane Reuse and Recycling Centre.
