Notes

To reduce the risk of maggots and flies:

  • cover your food waste with garden waste - this will stop the smells that flies are attracted to
  • use an insecticide strip inside your bin

If you need more than one brown bin you can buy an extra one from us by calling 01782 234000. You will also need to buy another Garden Waste Subscription for your additional bin.
