Here are some top tips to help keep your bins clean:
- Recycle as much as possible to reduce the
amount of rubbish you need to put in the bin.
- Reduce your food waste - around a
third of all food we buy is thrown away. For ideas on how to reduce food waste,

- Always bag your general rubbish before putting
it in the bin.
- Always keep your bin lid closed.
- Squeeze air out of waste bags before
securely tying and putting in the bin.
- If possible, store your bins out of direct
sunlight.
- Clean/wash your bin out regularly using an
anti-bacterial cleaner, disinfectant or bicarbonate of soda.
- Double bag any pet waste and nappies before
putting in the rubbish bin.
- Mix different types of garden waste (such
as clippings, grass cuttings and dry woody garden waste) before placing into
the green lidded garden waste bin.
