Recycling

Monday 13 October

Residents of Sherwood Road/Greggs Wood Road are asked to put their bins out for collection by 6am while there are ongoing roadworks.

 

Your food waste is collected weekly on the same day as your recycling or household waste collection and it may be collected by a separate lorry at a different time of the day.

Got an awkward or bulky item to dispose of? Our bulky waste collection service will remove heavy or large items too big to fit in your bin. To visit the household waste recycling centre at North Farm you must book a slot in advance using the Kent County Council booking system. 

Remember you can put old batteries out during your recycling collection week and small electrical items and textiles on your household waste collection week.

Check our waste and recycling pages for more information.
