Useful Tips and Tricks

• Start clearing and put out your waste and recycling on your collection day now so it doesn’t pile up just before you leave
  
• Leave recycling/waste outside of your property by 7am on your day of collection or after 8pm the evening before. Please be aware that you could get fined by the Council if you have rubbish left out at the wrong time.
  
• Recycle as much as possible! You can put up to 13 different items for recycling in your green box or untied carrier bags; paper, cans, glass bottles, plastic packaging, clothes, shoes…However it must be clean and sorted!
  
• Remember, that there are also some fantastic charity shops on Moorland Road and other district centres around the city where you can drop off quality things for free
