Your bin collection day is changing

If you live in Forest Heath you may need to put your bins out on a different day and at a different time from late June. We will send you more information about how the change affects you in early June – please look out for it. There will also be a Freephone number available nearer the time if you have any questions.



We can offer information and advice on a wide range of environmental issues.  For further information, please contact Environmental Services or click on the appropriate links below:
