Bins are collected between 6:30am - 5pm (usually around 9am). The drivers collect the bins at the back and there is no need anymore to put the bins in front.
For the food waste. You need to put back gib liners in the bins and clip them in place. Sometime, the bin is dirty and need to be clean (at the outdoor kitchen sink)
The general waste bins are left in front of the temple when they are collected and need to be put back.
Send all emails to KeyAccounts@Cawleys.co.uk.
