It must not be put out before 6pm the previous evening, and containers must be removed from the public highway as soon as possible after emptying and certainly by the end of the collection day.

Generally, the collection point is at the front of the property and this may differ from the collection point for normal waste as this is generally at the rear of the property.

Storage containers must be stored on your own property and cannot be left on pavements, as this is unsightly and potentially dangerous to the partially sighted.  Fixed penalties notices will be issued where this happens. 

To report locations where this is a problem please contact Environmental Protection using the contact details to the right of this page.
