Bulk and Green Waste Verge Collections
The Town provides kerbside waste collections throughout the year for residential and multi-residential properties only. Both green waste and white goods are recycled where possible and practical.
IMPORTANT! There have been some changes recently to our bulk waste collections. E-Waste and Mattresses are now separate to Bulk Waste collections, please find more information on Mattress on Demand and E-Waste collection on the blue tabs to the left of this page.

Please note that it may take up to seven working days for your area to be collected. For residents without a verge (or with a very small verge) please contact our Waste Management Services to arrange collection.
Bulk waste on the verge outside the collection dates indicated is considered littering and may incur a fine.
