We provide sacks for properties unable to use bins for recycling and waste. Sacks are delivered every six months so you have a steady supply for the whole year.

Clear sacks for recycling

Clear sacks are for dry mixed recyclables. We collect these on the same day as blue bins.

Learn more about what you can put in blue bins and clear recycling sacks.

Lilac sacks for rubbish

Lilac sacks are for non-recyclable waste. We collect up to three lilac sacks each fortnight on the same day as green bins. We will not collect black sacks.

Learn more about what can go in green bins and lilac rubbish sacks.

How to put your sacks out for collection

Clear and lilac sacks should be put out the same way as the blue and green bins.

Learn more about how to put your bins and sacks out for collection.

When sacks will be delivered (and what to do if you're running out)

Sacks are delivered in March/April and again in September/October. We provide enough sacks to last six months which means you have a steady supply throughout the year.

There shouldn't be any need to request more sacks as long as you continue to recycle as much as possible. 

If you're running low and delivery is due - please sit tight and keep recycling.

if you've run out of sacks and a sack delivery is not due you can get in touch to discuss by sending an email to recyclingandwaste@odsgroup.co.uk.
