Black wheelie bin

Your black wheelie bin is for things you can't recycle.

We collect your black wheelie bin every two weeks. You can use our online tool to look up your collection day.

You can order a new wheelie bin if yours is broken and you need a replacement.

If we haven't collected your bin, you can report a missed collection.

You can put in:

plastics that don't go in your red recycling box, including:
- carrier bags
- wrapping and packaging (for example, crisps packets, bread bags, nappy packaging)
polystyrene
lids of glass jars
nappies, incontinence pads and other sanitary waste (tightly wrapped and double-bagged)
empty stoma and colostomy bags (tightly wrapped and double-bagged)
broken glass and ceramics (tightly wrapped in newspaper to protect the collection crew)
disposable BBQs, but you should:
- douse with water to make sure it has been extinguished
- put the ash in a bag
- put the ash and the metal grill in the wheelie bin
- put the aluminium tray in your red recycling box
