Green Bins

Each household has been provided with a 140 litre green bin for waste that cannot be recycled or composted.

This green bin is collected weekly.

Only refuse contained within the 'closed lid' wheeled bin will be collected. The collection crew have been advised not to collect any extra waste.

The wheeled bin must be left at the property boundary by 7am on the day of collection (or by 6.30am for any Saturday collections)

Please use the online service to enquire about your collection day or contact the Customer Services Centre on 01923 776611 (minicom 01923 727303) or e-mail enquiries@threerivers.gov.uk

Elderly, infirm and disabled residents who have no other resident to help them move the bin may apply for an assisted collection. The bin must still be visible and the front of the property but does not have to be moved to the boundary. To apply for this service please download the Application Form, contact the Customer Services Centre on 01923 776611(minicom 01923 727303) or e-mail enquiries@threerivers.gov.uk to request a form.

If you live in a flat you may have different refuse arrangements, such as communal bulk bins.

If you have children in nappies and you cannot fit all your refuse into your bin you can purchase nappy sacks from Council offices and local libraries for 25p each. These can then be left next to the bin on the day of collection. These are the only extra bags we will collect. The Council offers cashback to parents who choose real nappies for their children.
