Frequently asked Questions

Q. How many bags will I receive?

A. Each property will receive 1 sack per week (52 per year).

Q. When will I receive my black sacks?

A. Sacks are delivered yearly to each property. Between January and March each property will receive a supply of 52 sacks.

Q. Why are they delivered yearly?

A. There are financial savings generated by delivering the sacks yearly - money that will be saved or used to enhance other Council services.

Q. What happens if I run out?

A. Should you run out of sacks you will need to purchase additional sacks until your next delivery. By using the household collection of recyclable materials service, which collects mixed paper and card, tins and cans and plastic containers, you will be able to dramatically reduce the quantity of black sack rubbish you generate.

Q. I have just moved in and don't have any black sacks - what should I do?

A. Sacks are delivered to each property (as opposed to residents) and therefore if the previous occupants have not left any you will need to purchase additional sacks until you receive the next yearly supply between January and March.

Q. What if I don't receive my delivery of sacks?

A. If you do not receive your yearly delivery of sacks by the finish date for your round then please contact the Council within 10 working days, we cannot supply any sacks after this time. You can purchase black bags from most supermarkets, DIY stores or from any of the Council's cash offices which can be left out for collection.
