What Goes in my Bins?

Burgundy Bin (General Waste)

Wrapping rubbish before placing it in the bin reduces contamination and odour.

Things that should go in your burgundy bin:

  • All non-recyclable material.
  • Bagged dog waste.
  • Double bagged non-infectious absorbent waste (incontinence pads, nappies and sanitary products).
  • Polystyrene packaging.

Things that cannot go in your burgundy bin:

  • Any recyclable material.
  • Hot ashes.
  • Building waste/aggregate.
  • Clinical waste and sharps.
  • Hazardous waste (batteries, vapes etc.).
