Services and Advice to Householders

Green bin, brown bin and blue box A waste collection service is available to all householders.

Bins

In most properties, the service operates on a 2 week cycle to collect

mixed household waste in your green bin one week, and
material for recycling in your blue box and blue bin the following week.

There is also a collection for garden waste which goes into a brown bin.

Collections

On waste collection days, householders are asked to carefully place their box and/or bin at the back of the pavement before 7.30 am. Please have the bin lid closed to prevent litter and reduce accidents caused by overfilled bins falling from the collection vehicle.

We do not lift excess waste, but you may request a Bulky Uplift or use the Forthbank Recycling Centre in Alloa.

Properties which lack the facilities to recycle, such as blocks of flats, will be included as soon as it is practical.

Holidays

During the Christmas holidays your collection day may change, please check our web pages and local press for changes. Other holiday dates will not affect your service.

Help with taking your bin out

If you cannot present your bin, we may bring the bin out for you if there is no-one else in your household to do this.

Contact us on 0500 545 540 (Free phone ELSA) or use the details at the bottom of the page to have an officer call and check if you are eligible for this service.
