Wheelie bins
Extra recycling
If your wheelie bin is too full and the lid can’t close completely it will not be collected. If the lid is not closed flat during the lift by the truck, the recycling may fall out.
Extra items placed next to or on top of the wheelie bin will not be collected.
If you have too much recycling to fit in your wheelie bin, try some of these tips:
- Breakdown or flatten your cardboard (or consider using it in your compost!)
- Take some recycling out and take it to your local transfer station, or hold it for your next collection.
Check you haven’t put a large hard plastic item in there.
Worried about moving a full wheelie bin?
It doesn’t have to be full to place it out, we recommend you place it out on each collection day.
