Extra recycling can be put out next to the green bin in clear sacks. These are available from libraries in Broadway, Droitwich Spa, Evesham and from the Civic Centre in Pershore.
Please make sure bins are out by 7am as collection times may be different to normal.
Garden waste customers
Real Christmas trees can be put into the garden waste bins. These should be cut up into manageable pieces or – if no more than 4ft – can be left beside the garden waste bin.
