UNWANTED green bins from South Gloucestershire will be collected by the council next week.

The bins will be collected as a one-off service between Monday, January 26 and Monday, February 16 by South Gloucestershire Council.

Details of your area’s green bin removal day will be provided on a tag secured to your black bin around one to two weeks before the collection.

If you no longer want your green bin it must be put out for removal on the date featured on the leaflet you receive.

If you subscribe to the green bin collection service please do not put your bin out on this day.

All green bins for removal must be outside by 7am on the appropriate day and bins that contain waste, including garden waste will not be collected.

The collections are not compulsory and anyone who is using their green bin for another purpose can continue to do so.

If you currently receive help putting out your bins and require assistance to put your unwanted green bin out, please contact 01454 868000 or email sortitteam@sita.co.uk prior to your removal day.
