Please dispose of your waste responsibly and help us reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill.

Please ensure that all household rubbish is bagged up in bin liners and placed in the bins provided outside your property; it is incredibly important that you do this, as the refuse collectors will not take any items that are left outside of the bins. Bags of rubbish are not only an eyesore but they also encourage an escalation in the rodent population.

Environmental Enforcement Officers have also been known to examine stray bags for information and impose fixed fines on the culprit - so beware!

To find when your bins get collected see the following information:

Leeds

Check your collection day here. Your green bin is for recycling and your black bin is for other household waste. Check what you can and can't recycle. Glass can't be recycled in your bins at home, so you will need to take it to your nearest bottle bank. If you wish to report a missed collection, arrange a bulky item collection or if have any other queries you should contact Leeds City Council.
