Commercial Properties

Commercial properties will receive a service similar to residential properties. If commercial properties produce more waste, then they will have to make private collection or disposal arrangements. Collection days are the same as for residential collections.

Left Over Rubbish

If you cannot reduce, re-use or recycle your rubbish, then what is left over must be taken to a Transfer Station.
