Bin collections over Twelfth in Northern Ireland - when will your bin be collected?
As the holiday season approaches and everyone hopes to relax in their homes – the last thing that’s needed is fretting over uncollected rubbish.
According to NI Direct the local council is responsible for collecting and disposing of waste in your area.
They provide different bins for food waste, household waste and recycling.
Household waste goes to landfill. To prevent contamination, it's important to separate your landfill waste from your recycling and use the right bin.
This is when bins will be collected in your council area.
