Changes to bin collections due to hot weather
To help our collection crews during the current hot weather, bin collections will begin an hour earlier than usual over the coming days. For all collections up to, and including Tuesday 15 July, please make sure you put your bins, sacks and containers out by 6:00am to avoid missed collections. Thank you for your cooperation and support.
Trading Standards
On 1 June 2025, it will be illegal to sell single use vapes.
Businesses will no longer be able to sell single use vapes, which are often called disposable vapes. The ban is being put in place to reduce the waste and recycling issues caused by single use vapes.
If you are a local business, read and take action as shown in the Government Guidance.
