Have your bags out by 7am on your changed collection day. You can place glass bottles & jars in your orange recycling bags but please don't overfill them - spread them out across your recycling bags - any broken glass should be wrapped securely & placed in your black rubbish bags
If you have extra packaging from Christmas gifts, make sure to flatten or fold cardboard down & replace underneath your bags for collection. Thank you!
