Whenever possible wheelie bins should be kept in a secure position away from the property itself and out of immediate view. Where this is not possible, bins should be placed away from doors and windows; this will minimise the impact on your property should your bins be set alight.

Don’t accumulate combustible materials such as bed mattresses, cardboard boxes etc. in your garden or outside area. Ensure you either take the items to your nearest local authority waste site or, if you are unable to transport them yourself, contact your local authority for advice regarding bulk collection.

If you have empty or unwanted LPG gas cylinders contact the retailer, to arrange collection.
