Household Waste - Domestic Bins

The Council is responsible for the collection and disposal of household refuse.  This is a vital service that make the area a healthy, safe and clean place to live in.  Torbay at present operates two methods of domestic collection, the traditional backdoor dustbin service and a twin-bin recycling scheme.

We will:

• Collect your refuse on the same day each week (with the exception of Christmas and New Year)   We collect on all other Bank Holidays
• Advertise in advance of any changes to the collection service.
• Provide facilities for recycling waste.

You can help us by:

• Placing your bin out to the edge of your property for emptying (Twin Bin Scheme).
• Making sure all refuse is suitably contained to prevent it spilling on to the highway.
• Using the recycling facilities to sustain the environment.
