What happens to rubbish that I put in my household waste (refuse) wheeled bin?
Any non recyclable waste that is placed out for collection as household waste/refuse is sent either for incineration or to landfill.
For your material to be recycled, it needs to be placed into the correct container and put out for that particular recycling collection.
If there are items unsuitable for recycling from the kerbside containers, the Household Recycling Centre can accept a range of items for recycling.
The majority of homes with kerbside access now receive the grey household waste (refuse) collection service using a 180 litre wheelie bin.
Your grey bin collections will take place one week and your recycling collection the next week (Alternative Weekly Service). Food Waste will still be emptied weekly.
