Request a supply of waste and recycling kerbside bags

Some people may be unable to use a bin, and are provided with specific bags as an alternative way of presenting their waste. You can find information about how to request this service.

The bags should only be used for everyday general waste or recycling, and should not be used for clear outs or garden waste. Extra waste can be taken to a Community Recycling Centre.

If you use bags provided by us, you'll receive an annual supply with the equivalent capacity of a bin. If you think we've missed your annual delivery you can request a supply.
