Green Sacks

Approximately 20% of the average household's rubbish consists of green garden waste. If this waste ends up in your black wheelie bin a valuable resource that could be turned into compost is wasted.

You can keep your garden clean and tidy and help us to recycle garden waste by using the green sack collection service.Green sacks are available from Housing Offices and libraries across the City.

When will my green sacks be collected?

Please see below for details of collection dates in your area. Most residents no longer have to phone us to arrange a collection. Just put them out before 7am on the dates shown below and your bags will be collected any day from Monday to Friday during the week shown.

Please put your green sacks on the front boundary of your property, where we can see them and access them from the roadside. Please do not block paths and verges
