Household waste collections
Blue rubbish bag collections
If you cannot store a wheelie bin on your property, for example because your home has no frontage, we will provide blue rubbish bags for your general household waste.
Blue rubbish bag deliveries
We deliver 52 blue rubbish bags to each eligible household in April and another 52 in October.
This gives you 104 bags each year, enough for two bags a week.
Please note: We only collect blue rubbish bags provided by the Council.
In most cases, we collect blue rubbish bags every week. You can check your rubbish and recycling collection day.
Using your blue rubbish bags
Your blue rubbish bags should:
- be ready for collection by 6.00am
- contain general household rubbish
- not contain garden waste
- not contain items you can recycle
- not contain food waste
Additional blue rubbish bags
If you have moved home
If you have moved into a property and there are no blue rubbish bags available, you can order a replacement supply online.

If you need more bags
If 104 bags a year are not enough for your household, you can request an assessment from a waste warden.
The waste warden will assess your circumstances and decide whether you can receive additional bags.
