In line with our climate change commitment and our recycling and reuse ethos we refurbished 1110 ltr bins wherever possible. These are renewed and fitted with new furnishings and are the same quality as new bins.

Feral pigeons build their nests in or on buildings and other structures, where they are usually found on ledges or in hollows, under eaves or on girders. Where there is a gull problem you should only put out your household waste on the morning of collection We do not provide wheelie bins for household rubbish collections. They are available to buy online or from many suppliers. Help with putting your rubbish out In Britain we use over six billion glass bottles and jars each year. It would take you over three and a half thousand years to sing "Six Billion Green Bottles"! (Waste Watch).

Food Waste Collections

Once your application has been processed we will aim to deliver your bin within 21 days together with your collection calendar. Terms and Conditions When you sign up you will be delivered a collection calendar as well as 2 rolls of purple bags. There is no limit as to how many of these bags you can put out every fortnight, but each bag has a 15kg weight limit for the safety of our crews. If bird feeding is attracting gulls and larger birds to your garden you should stop feeding the birds. This may also allow the smaller garden birds to return. Can the Council stop people from feeding birds?

Any type of glass that is not a bottle or jar i.e pyrex containers, drinking glasses, spectacles, window glass, glass ornaments, glass chopping boards or light bulbs Why can't these items be included?

Complaints about wild bird or gulls on Cornwall Council owned/managed property, can be reported to [email protected] or call 0300 1234 232. Where plastic bags have to be left outside homes on pavements and are vulnerable not only to seagulls but other scavengers these bags are especially helpful. Our Cornwall Councillor Paul White has campaigned tirelessly for some time to introduce this scheme and I hope it succeeds.”

For household waste, please ensure your rubbish is contained within rubbish bags before placing in your bins. An assisted collection service is availablefor those residents eligible for an assistedrefuse and recycling collection providing itis practicable to do so. I was delighted Cornwall Council chose Rosemellin, North Roskear Road and other areas in Camborne to pilot the scheme. I have fought hard to keep Camborne’s roads and streets as tidy as possible. Why are you cutting our services and making us pay for our own bin bags during a cost of living crisis? Between the 27th Februaryand 1stDecember 2023, we are offering fortnightly collections of household garden waste.The garden waste is taken to a centralised composting facility where it is treated and turned into compost for use on the land. But I have a compost bin. Does this mean you want me to get rid of that? If you have unwanted large household appliances such as beds, fridges and furniture you can arrange for a bulky household waste collection. The collection of bulky household items is undertaken on our behalf by Frame, a local charitable organisation.

Bins too heavy for safe handling or unsafefor the lift mechanism will not beemptied. The householder must removethe excess weight and re-present the binfor the next scheduled collection. I have a large family, even though we recycle we still have more than 3 bags. How do I apply for an allowance for additional bags?

Waste and Recycling Collection Calendars

You can use our waste and recycling search directory to find out what can be put in each container or to look up a specific item to find out which one it goes in. Please note, once a customer has made a request for a collection of up to 20 items, (the cost of 2 collections) they will not be able to book another collection until the current collections have been completed. private homes, annexes or caravans during any periods where they are being rented out to others as temporary holiday accommodation
