11/01/11……Bin collections latest

FROM this week brown bins will start to be collected again, on the same day as recycling, following the Christmas and New Year collection schedule.

From Wednesday, January 12, brown bins should be put out for collection on the normal day your recycling collection is due, and can put out a reasonable amount of extra garden waste next to the brown bin. This extra waste, which can be up to the equivalent of an extra bin load, should be put out in a black bag, plastic box or sturdy container and should obviously be garden waste so please leave the bag open or lid off so crews can see what it is.

The extra waste must also be able to be lifted by one person.

Christmas trees can be left next to the brown bin if that helps create more space in the bin for garden waste.
