JUST A REMINDER
No new containers will be accepted at our refund points or via our collection service until 1 July 2026.
An expansion of this size requires time to prepare, and we will be working in the background to ensure we are operationally ready for the expansion start date.
For now, please do not return the proposed new containers. Keep doing what you're doing, and dispose of these containers in the relevant bin as per WasteSorted guidelines.
