Correct presentation of pink sacks

Also, please do not place Waste Electricals (WEEE), batteries or vapes into your pink sacks, these have an environmental impact and are a fire risk.
Missed collections
Failure to present your bin(s) correctly could result in your bin(s) not being emptied, these will not be uplifted until the next scheduled collection date. Report a missed household waste collection and help us to investigate.
