in accordance with the collection calendar<br />
Includes wastes that cannot be recycled at the kerbside or cannot be recycled at <strong>Council</strong><br />
Household Recycling Centres or Community Bring Sites.<br />
PLEASE REMEMBER -<br />
3 Wheeled bins must be presented at your normal collection point by 7.30am on the day of collection.<br />
3 Do not overload your bin. Overloaded bins may not be emptied. It will be the householder’s<br />
responsibility to lighten the bin for the next scheduled collection.<br />
3 The bin lid should be closed. Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> for safety reasons & to ensure the contents of your bin do not<br />
pollute the area.<br />
3 To ass<strong>is</strong>t the <strong>Council</strong> in providing a service, it would be helpful if householders could ensure that their<br />
vehicle(s) are not parked in such a manner as to obstruct the refuse collection vehicle. Th<strong>is</strong> will reduce<br />
the likelihood of d<strong>is</strong>rupted services.<br />
WARNING - you can be prosecuted for illegal dumping. Please d<strong>is</strong>pose of your waste responsibly.<br />
IMPORTANT - CONTAMINATION: If your blue or brown bin <strong>is</strong> found to be contaminated i.e. contain unacceptable<br />
wastes e.g. plastic bags or packaging, IT WILL NOT BE EMPTIED. It will be the householder’s responsibility to remove<br />
the contaminant(s) before it <strong>is</strong> presented for the NEXT SCHEDULED COLLECTION. Contaminated bins can result in<br />
a complete lorry load being rejected from the processing facility. Th<strong>is</strong> could cost the <strong>Council</strong> thousands of pounds in<br />
additional landfill costs. As part of the monitoring process each bin will be checked for contamination prior to being<br />
emptied. Bins found to be contaminated will be clearly marked with an ‘OOPS’ card and not emptied. In addition to th<strong>is</strong><br />
the <strong>Council</strong> Officers will be carrying out random checks.
When are the Collections?<br />
IMPORTANT: Please read and keep for arrangements during holiday periods.<br />

• If d<strong>is</strong>ruption of services takes place due to severe weather conditions, it may be necessary to cancel or reschedule<br />
the collection of bins. Please contact Technical & Environmental Services for more information on 028 9049 4600.<br />
