Recycling boxes will only be collected from the front of each property boundary, where the front path or driveway meets the road. They need to be visible from the road so that the waste operatives can clearly see them. Elderly or infirm residents who are unable to pull their boxes to their property boundary should call the Recycling Officer on 01895 837 362 to make other arrangements.
If you require additional or replacement boxes Select this link.
Mini recycling centres can be installed in flats if boxes are unsuitable. Please call the Recycling Officer if you live in a flat and would like a mini recycling centre on 01895 837362.
If you have just moved to the area, have mislaid your leaflet or would like any further information about our waste collection and recycling services, please call 01895 837362.
Continued successful recycling is achieved by the residents’ participation in the following schemes:-
- Fortnightly front of property paper, card, glass and cans collection service. Residents are provided with boxes free of charge, upon request, which are collected on the same day as the refuse but not necessarily at the same time. Paper and card must be put in the black boxes supplied, and glass and cans in the green boxes. Select this link to view leaflet for collection dates.
- All paper waste is accepted at recycling banks. This includes cardboard, food packaging and telephone directories.
- All recycling boxes must be put out at the font of each property boundary, where the front path or drive meets the road. If recycling boxes are not visible from the road they will not be collected.
- Mini recycling centres can be installed in flats where boxes are unsuitable.
Please call the Recycling Officer on 01895 837362 to discuss.

- Composting - up to 30% of an average household’s waste is organic and can be composted. This not only saves valuable landfill space but the end product replaces peat as a composting agent which in turn preserves some of the country’s valuable wildlife sites. SBDC has launched a home-compost bin offer.
- Recycling Facilities: please only put into the recycling banks the dry recyclables specified on the outside of these containers. Contamination with other material can cause the load to be rejected. Please avoid leaving materials around the containers plus other materials that are not collected i.e. general rubbish.
