Bins and recycling

We want to keep the neighbourhood you live in as clean and tidy as possible. You can help by making sure you get rid of your rubbish and recycling responsibly.

Your local council is responsible for providing rubbish bins and their collection. Find out about your bin collection, so you don’t miss bin day, go to your local council’s website:

If you are not sure which council is responsible for your bin collection, visit: www.gov.uk/find-local-council

You can find out about what you can recycle at home on the Recycle Now website.

It’s important that you put the right recycling in the right bin, or it might not be collected. If your recycling bin is rejected, it can lead to overflowing bins. This can cause an unsightly mess in your neighbourhood.

Your local council is responsible for providing recycling bins and their collection. You can also check on their website what you can put in your recycling bin:

New legislation means that if you haven’t already started food waste recycling, soon you will have a food waste collection.

Each local council might have different rules, but generally, you will be able to recycle:

  • Food leftovers
  • Meat and fish – both cooked and raw
  • Tea bags and coffee grounds
  • Bread, cakes and pastries
  • Vegetables and fruit, including peelings

It’s really important you follow your local council’s instructions about using and storing your food caddy to keep your neighbourhood clear of debris.

Find out about food recycling, collections and food caddies, on your local council’s website:


Your small caddy could make a big difference. Each caddy of food waste produces enough electricity to:

  • Power an LED bulb for 24 hours
  • Charge a tablet 5 times
  • Power a fridge for 18 hours

Want to make your food go further and reduce food waste? Visit the Love Food, Hate Waste website.

If you need a new bin, recycling bags, or a container, please get in touch with your local council.

Fly-tipping

We want to keep our estates as clean and tidy as possible. If you see items that have been dumped or spot someone fly-tipping in your area, please report it. We take reports of littering and fly-tipping on our land very seriously

If the rubbish has been dumped on an area that we own, either inside or outside a building, please report it by:

If you know who is responsible, you can let us know in confidence. Please give us as much detail as possible, such as the type of waste and exactly where it’s located. This will help us prioritise its removal and our investigations to prevent it from happening again.

If you see items dumped or someone fly-tipping in an area not managed or owned by us, you can report it to your local council.
