Seagull bags

Information on the types of general household waste that can be collected via seagull bags in Torbay.

Some waste and recycling collections are currently behind schedule. 

  • If your collection is less than 24 hours late, please leave your bins out.
  • If it’s over 48 hours late, please report it to SWISCo 

Properties that aren’t suitable for wheeled bins are provided with seagull proof sacks and in almost all cases will receive a weekly collection.

Please make sure that all waste is in tied bags so that the collection crew can lift them out.

  • Items that can’t be recycled
  • Polystyrene
  • Black plastics
  • Pet litter and waste
  • Nappies and hygiene waste
  • Plastic wrapping e.g. cling film and plastic bags
  • Wrapped, broken glass
