Bins and Waste Recycling at Home

If you live in private rented accommodation, it is important to know when your bin collections are, and that you recycle responsibly and regularly so that you are contributing to a more sustainable way of processing your waste.

 

Please note that your Big and Little Bins are collected on alternate weeks.

 

Excess rubbish that will not fit into your bin should be taken to the local Milhams Recycling Centre, at Longham, before it gets opened by foxes, and blown around the neighbourhood.

 

Check your bin collection dates on the BPC Council website, and don't forget to check what waste goes in each bin.

It is really important that you put the right waste in the right bin. If you contaminate dry mixed recycling with food waste it will be contaminated and all end up in landfill.

If you live in a large house with only one bin, you can request another from the council and your landlord should pay for the cost.

If you're struggling with your bins then contact the council on 01202 451199 or at recycle@bournemouth.ac.uk.

Charity shops are always after your unwanted items such as books and clothes - and The Big Give will collect all your end of year unwanted goods starting 29th April 2020. There will be plenty of bins around campus. Check the Big Give page for details about collections from Winton.

Wallisdown and Poole will have different bin collection times, for more information check here for bin collection days or speak to your neighbours.
