Bio bins

The most significant change in recent years has been the introduction of a new service for citizens – the provision of 240-litre bins for garden waste (free of charge), including regular collections. The aim of this step is to reduce the volume of recoverable biodegradable waste in the mixed household waste that is deposited as landfill. The garden waste is used to make high-quality compost which is sold (at cost price) to citizens via the City’s network of recycling centres or at the composting centre.
