Authorised Council sacks
Types of sacks
Orange refuse sacks (Mid Suffolk only)
Authorised orange sacks are for any extra household refuse (general rubbish) you may have, and are available for 84p each.
Place the orange sacks by the refuse bin on your refuse collection day.
Sacks must be able to be easily lifted and tied at the top, to prevent being overfilled.
Unauthorised sacks of refuse, such as black bags, will not be collected.
Clear recycling sacks
Extra household recycling that can't fit into the recycling bin can be put in any clear, see-through sack.
Clear sacks can also be purchased from our authorised council sack stockists for 12p each.
Place the clear sacks by the recycling bin on your recycling collection day.
Sacks must be able to be easily lifted and tied at the top, to prevent being overfilled.
Green garden waste sacks (Mid Suffolk only)
Authorised green sacks are for any extra garden waste you may have, and are available for £1.20 each.
They can also be used if you do not have a garden waste (brown) bin.
Place the green sacks by the refuse bin on your refuse collection day. These sacks are not collected by the garden waste collection crews.
Sacks must be able to be easily lifted and tied at the top, to prevent being overfilled.
Unauthorised sacks of garden waste, such as black bags, will not be collected.
