Recycling and rubbish

We provide a residential kerbside recycling and rubbish collection service to encourage responsible disposal, recycling and reuse of unwanted household stuff.

Recycling is back!

As of Monday 16 December, Cleanaway will take over the processing of the G21 region’s kerbside collected recyclable materials – including paper, glass, metals and plastics
