Household Services

We provide two essential household services for our customers: green or garden waste recycling and a general waste collection.

General Rubbish

Our general rubbish collection service is ideal if you have a larger amount of weekly rubbish or you want to keep it secure, more hygienic, and safe from animals. Separate out your recyclables for your local council’s kerbside collection if one is available, otherwise put everything (apart from green waste) into your Earthcare Environmental wheely bin and leave the sorting to us.

For general waste we provide a 240-litre wheely bin, which is collected from the kerbside. Skip bins from 3 to 9 cubic metres and a number of alternative containers are also available on enquiry.

Garden Waste

Earthcare Environmental green waste collection is a simple, convenient way to help you keep your garden tidy and ensure garden waste is turned into high-quality compost.

We supply a 240-litre wheely bin you can take around the garden and put your clippings into. It will be collected from the kerbside on a regular 4-weekly cycle, with a simple calendar to remind you when collection is due. Or for a small increase in price you can choose to have it collected from within your property.

You will also get a free regular newsletter with interesting tips on garden care and composting.

Recycling Tips

Your local council will most likely provide a kerbside recycling service. If not, take your recyclables to your local recycling depot.

Here are some simple recycling tips:

Plastics: Wash and remove lids of plastic bottles and containers marked with a triangular recycling symbol 1 to 7 such as soft drink and milk bottles, shampoo and cream bottles.
Paper: Keep and recycle all clean and dry newspaper, magazines, mixed paper, cardboard and telephone books. Clean and flatten cardboard milk and juice cartons.
Glass: Wash green, clear and brown glass bottles and jars and be sure to remove lids.
Cans: Wash steel and aluminum cans and remove the paper labels where possible.
