Rules for putting out mini container

Do we empty your mini-container using a side loader or a rear loader? Depending on the type of refuse collection lorry, the following rules apply to how you should put out your container:  

Rear loader:

  • Put the container out at the collection point that belongs to your home before 07.30 in the morning. The container can be emptied until 16.00.
  • Place the container so that the handles are facing towards the road.
  • Make sure the lid is closed and that no waste is sticking out of the container.
  • The container should not be heavier than 60 kg.
  • Do not put bags, boxes or other loose waste next to the container.
  • Remove the empty container from the street on the same day.
  • Are there roadworks in your street? Then put the container in a place that can be accessed by the refuse collection lorry.
  • Put any dust or ashes in a sealed bag before putting it into the container.
  • Preferably put PMD waste into a transparent bag.
