Ingatestone bin collection pilot
500 properties in Ingatestone have been selected to take part in a bin collection pilot.
The pilot will trial fortnightly collection of:
- general rubbish using 180-litre wheeled bins
- recycling using blue disposable sacks for paper and card
- recycling using white disposable sacks for plastic and metal
Where to put your recycling for collection
Recycling must be left on the kerbside at the front of your property by 7:30am on the correct collection day or we will assume you do not need a collection.
