Plastic refuse sacks
Each household on a 'black sack route' is entitled to 24 sacks, delivered every 20 weeks.
Unless you have a designated sack uplift area, you should place your sacks on the kerbside before 7am on the day of uplift. Please do not put sacks out on any other day as plastic waste sacks are a potential littering nuisance, attracting animals, birds and vandals. This is an offence under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
A maximum of three bags per household will be collected.
Assisted uplifts can be arranged for the elderly or infirm. Please contact the Recycling Helpline on 01475 715901 for information.
The next plastic sacks delivery is scheduled for week commencing Monday 13 January 2025 then 20 weeks thereafter i.e. weeks commencing Monday 2 June 2025, Monday 20 October 2025, Monday 9 March 2026 and Monday 27July 2026.
Please note deliveries are subject to the availability of adequate resources, suppliers and weather conditions and on occasions may be delayed.
