Refuse and Recycling

The Bins

There are two wheelie bins outside, in the passageway by the side of the house.
You can access them via the back gate.

Green with a green top:    for general waste

Green with a blue top:      for recycling

For shorter stays, I really don’t expect you to worry about emptying wheelie bins, however, if you are staying a while and would like to have your general waste bin emptied, put it out on the driveway, close to the front of the property on Thursday evening.

The bin will be emptied at some point on Friday.

Any problems, or missed collection, just let me know.

The recycling service is less regular, and for that reason, the easiest way of getting your recycling collected is simply to text me if your recycling bin is full, and to place the bin outside the front of the house. 

I will empty the bin, and ensure the contents are recycled.

Please put the bins back around the side of the house once they are emptied, as the wind tends to throw empty bins around!
