Non-recyclable waste

Hints and tips to create more space in your black bin

Around 70% of household waste is recyclable, please use your new brown outdoor food bin and blue-lidded bin to recycle as much as possible. To recycle your garden waste, sign up to our chargeable garden waste service, use a home composter or take to your local Household Waste and Recycling Centre (HWRC).

​

If you think you will still create too much waste to fit into your black bin, you can:

• take your waste to your local Household Waste and Recycling Centre (HWRC)

• donate unwanted items, such as clothes and furniture to charity

• book a bulky waste collection.

• purchase excess waste or nappy sacks from the Town Hall or Wiggenhall depot

​

Please don't leave your waste:

• outside your house for scrap metal collectors as this is illegal

• on the street or by a litter bin as this is classed as fly tipping
