This article explains where to put your rubbish and recycling when taking it outside and the locations of the bins/ refuse containers.

There are three types of external bins – purple, red and green.

  • Green bins – for waste that does not contain food or liquid, put in using clear plastic bags. Please do not place black plastic bags into green bins as they will contaminate the whole container and will not be collected for recycling.
  • Purple bins – for waste containing food or liquids, put in using black bin bags.
  • Red bins – for food waste only (no packaging)
