Waste audit requestIf you are recycling we expect that most households should be able to manage with fortnightly grey bin collections. The new service includes food waste recycling for households that do not have a food and garden waste collection service. This will further reduce the amount of waste going into the grey bin.
There are some criteria which may allow a second grey bin to be allocated. These are:
More than six people permanently resident on the household. Visitors or guests cannot be included.
More than 2 of the residents of the houseold in nappies.
One or more of the residents with a medical condition which results in the production of extra waste (non-clinical) E.g. packaging or incontinence pads.
Complete this form if you wish to be considered for an extra bin.
