Purple bin or purple lid: general waste

The purple bin (or communal bin with purple lid) is for general waste that cannot be recycled. 

It is collected fortnightly - find your collection day.

Remember:

Put your general waste in bags before you bin it. This will prevent items such as wrappers or ash blowing away during emptying.

Waste should fit in the bin under a closed lid. We will not collect any bags from beside or on top of your bin.

Heavier items such as bricks or turf should go to a recycling centre.

For larger items, arrange a special uplift or take them to a recycling centre.

Plastic bottles and containers, glass, paper, cardboard, and cans go in the grey recycling bin
