Green Bin: Outline

Every household in the district is provided with a green wheelie bin for the collection of household waste.

Examples of that can go into your green wheelie bin are:

  • Polystyrene
  • Waxed paper (ie off loaves of bread)
  • Cold ashes from a coal fire or wood burner
  • Pet litter
  • Pet faeces (should be wrapped in newspaper or bag to prevent smells)
  • Any items not currently allowed in the blue/brown bins
  • Sanitary products (incontinence products may need double bagging in hot weather to prevent smells)
  • Nappies
