Bin collections
The recycling (blue-lid bin) collections in Houlton due to take place last Thursday (5 December) have now been rescheduled for today (Wednesday 11 December).
Please leave your bins out for collection.
Household clinical waste
Household clinical waste
We can collect clinical waste from domestic properties free of charge.
This service must be authorised by a local GP or hospital. We will arrange for the collection service to start once we have received this authorisation.
Needles and sharps
Needles, syringes and other sharps should normally be returned to the pharmacy, GP or hospital using the sharps bin they provided.
If you have a backlog of filled, sealed sharps bins that you cannot return to the pharmacy, GP or hospital that provided them, we may be able to accept them at our Works Services Unit at Hunter's Lane. Contact us to arrange delivery. You will need to arrange for your pharmacy, GP or hospital to provide a replacement sharps bin.
