Items which will be accepted:

•    Garden waste ie grass and hedge clippings etc 
•    Textiles, although if these can be recycled, passed onto charity shops when they re-open it would be encouraged

Items not accepted: 
•    No electrical items will be accepted. These can be disposed of using our Bulky Waste Collection Service
•    Soil
•    Rubble / hard-core
•    Paint tins which contain paint
