Bin collections

Residents who are due to have brown bins emptied on Friday 22 November should leave these out for collection as normal. If we are unable to empty your brown bin, we will attempt to return next week. For more information, visit our Missed bins page.

Recycling Helper

Our recycling helper is here to point you in the right direction. If you are unsure about what to put in which bin at home, how to recycle or dispose of more unusual items, or even better, how to reduce your waste in the first place you are in the right place.

When recycling, please follow the guidance about what we can and can't accept for recycling, not what is written on the packaging itself.

If visiting Raynesway HWRC, our Recycling Advisors will be happy to help.
