Advice on keeping your bins from smelling

Residents are asked to ensure bins are out by 6am on collection day.

Collections continue until 5pm across the District.

Four point plan:

- Ensure the bin lid is always closed.

- Waste such as cooked food, dog poo and nappies should be double wrapped before placing in the bin. This will avoid any potential problems with flies.

- You may like to occasionally rinse out the bin with disinfectant.

- Going on holiday? Check your collection days with the bin calendar tool.
