’Closed Lid’ and ’No Extra Side Waste’ policy.

To reduce the amount of waste going to landfill and to encourage recyclng we introduced a closed lid and no extra side waste policy for the black landfill bins on 1st October 2007. Please ensure that bins are presented with CLOSED LIDS and with NO EXTRA SIDE WASTE eg bags, boxes stacked beside the bin etc.

Leave all bins out by 7:00am on day of collection.

Same Day Bin Collections

Newtownabbey Borough Council operates a Same Day collection service. This means that both Black and Brown bins will be collected on the same day, once a fortnight. Please refer to your calendar for your collection dates. If you require another copy of your calendar you can download it by clicking onto the online bin checker above or email cleansing@newtownabbey.gov.uk with your full postal address.
