If your bin contains items it shouldn't
If your bin contains items it shouldn't, we will leave a tag on your bin to let you know.
We will empty your bin on your next collection date, as long as the items have been removed.
We reserve the right to refuse to empty a bin if it contains the items we can't accept (listed above), or if it is too heavy.
