If you qualify for different sized bins to those at your

Clear Sacks
If you regularly have more recyclables that will fit into your
green bin, you can request some clear sacks from the Council free
of charge. Once filled, they can be left next to your bin and will
be collected by our operatives. Please DO NOT use
carrier bags or black sacks for this purpose as they will
NOT be collected. To request some
clear sacks please call 023 8068 8440.

arrange for a replacement bin to be issued to you.
