Are you producing extra rubbish that won't fit into your black bin?
Check you have the right number of bins
Recycle
- Make sure you are recycling using your brown food bin and blue-lidded recycling bin

- Sign up to the garden waste collection service to have grass cuttings, hedge clippings, leaves, plants and weeds collected from your home
