Hard, Bundled Branches & Metals Collection
Council provides a hard waste & metals collection once per year, combined with the January - April collection of bundled branches. Each year between January and April residents can place hard, bundled branches and metal waste out for collection. Below is some important information relating to the collection.

Please seperate your waste into three stacks; hard waste, bundled branches & metal. This allows safer & more efficient collections. In some areas, hard waste & metals will be collected in one truck for efficiencies and sorted at a central location for maximum recovery.
