HOUSEHOLDERS across Dumbarton and the Vale can now access bin collection calendars online.

Residents must put their postcode in the search bar and your calendar for 2015/16 will provided for download. This can then be printed off or saved to your computer for reference. The council have added that residents must put bins out before 6.30am on your collection day, with the handle facing the road.

Household residual (landfill) waste will be collected one week, and recycling materials the next on a continuous basis.

In a change to previous years, the council won’t be delivering hard-copy calendars to residents, the council say this is to be more environmentally friendly and reduce wastage. To view calendars visit www.west-dunbarton.gov.uk/…/bin-collection-day/
