Support for Health Conditions
Assisted Collections
Residents who have health or mobility restrictions can apply for assisted collections. Applications will be assessed, and where granted, arrangements will be made for crews to collect and return bins to the resident’s property.
Residents with assisted collections are required to ensure the crews have access to the bins, e.g., leaving gates unlocked on collection day.
Medical Waste
Residents with medical conditions that generate additional general, or recycling waste may apply for extra capacity. Where the waste is infectious a separate clinical waste collection will be provided. An on-demand sharps collection service is also provided.
