What goes where: nappies and wipes

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

Disposable nappies and baby wipes are general waste, even the ones labelled biodegradable, which do not break down in a standard kerbside system.

Avoid: Don't flush wipes, even flushable ones. They contribute to blockages in the sewer network.

Why was my bin not collected?

Quick tips for bin night

  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin. There is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It's a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
  • Rain isn't an excuse. The bin doesn't care if it's raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
