Household waste (Grey bin)

Anything that can't be recycled can go in your household waste bin, for example:

  • hard plastics, such as toys
  • polystyrene plastic
  • pet bedding
  • dog mess or other pet waste
  • cat litter
  • disposable nappies, incontinence or sanitary products
  • heavily soiled or greasy packaging (ie pizza boxes/chip papers)
  • wet or soiled paper
  • textiles that are worn out or soiled and otherwise can't be given to a charity shop or collection
  • foil plastics such as sweet or crisp packets
  • broken pottery or cookware

If you have extra rubbish or recycling that won't fit in your bin, save it until the next week.
