To keep neighbourhoods safe and tidy, Mr Ladmore recommended putting waste on the kerb just before the area's collection date.
Waste that cannot be collected by the council includes:
- vegetation
- motor vehicle parts, tyres
- building materials or renovation waste (soil, bricks, rubble, stones, steel)
- glass
- mattresses
- liquids (paints, petrol, oil)
- hazardous materials
- e-waste (TVs, computers, monitors, printers, scanners, stereos, DVD & video players, laptops, gaming machines, set-top boxes, other plastic electronics with screens, circuit boards, toner cartridges or inbuilt rechargeable batteries)
These can instead be taken to the council's waste management facilities. Chemicals and materials like paint, petrol and oil can be dropped off for free or taken to the council's Household Chemical Cleanout collections later this year.
