Common FAQs

Q: Are there any concessions if I am in receipt of benefits?

Q: Are there any schemes available that could bring the Arts to my area?

Q: I am elderly/disabled and need extra help with this service, will the council provide extra help to move items?

Answer:

We will provide assisted collections for residents that have a genuine difficulty in moving their wheeled bin and/or recycling boxes if there is no-one else in the household who could help.

Please contact us to discuss further - we are here to help. After a request is received one of our Waste Management Officers will arrange to visit you to complete the required paperwork.

We will also provide assistance in respect of the collection of larger items (furniture/electrical appliances).
