New burgundy bin
From 05 April 2021 we will operate a segregated trade waste recycling service. This means that paper and card will now be collected separately from plastics, cans and cartons.
After 02 April 2021 paper and card should no longer be put in your business' blue bin. These materials should instead be put in the new burgundy bin. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
