Inorganic Collections

Remember to check with your specific local council guidelines for confirmation before putting any rubbish out for an inorganic collection.

Remember:

• Stack rubbish in a tidy pile
• Sort tyres into a separate pile
• Please remove doors and electrical cables from stoves and refrigerators or place face   down on the grass verge for safety reasons.

Remember:  Reduce, Re-use, Recycle!
