Glass
Glass must be placed in:
Glass Recycling Banks and Communal Glass wheeled bins – for flats and houses where the council has notified you in writing that your premises are unsuitable for a box or individual wheeled bin.
Glass box or glass wheeled bin – the council will allocate individual houses with either a box or wheeled bin (at the discretion of the council) which the council will supply and empty.

Your general waste wheeled bin – the council will supply and empty. Please ensure you securely bag food waste as appropriate to prevent smells or vermin.

Do not place garden waste in your recyclable materials, glass or general waste bins or sacks.
Failure to place waste in the correct receptacle may result in your waste not being collected until it is deposited correctly. Any waste that is not collected must be placed in the correct receptacle for collection on the next scheduled collection day for your property. View the scheduled collection days for all types of recycled and household waste and details of your local Household Waste Recycling Centre.
