Brown Bin Collections
Same Day Bin Collections
Newtownabbey Borough Council operates a Same Day collection service. This means that both Black and Brown bins will be collected on the same day, once a fortnight. Please refer to your calendar for your collection dates. If you require another copy of your calendar you can download it by clicking onto the online bin checker above or email cleansing@newtownabbey.gov.uk with your full postal address.
Food Waste Liners/Red Tags
Every household in the borough should have received a reusable red tag to request more food waste liners. When you need more liners please attach this to the handle of your brown bin on your next collection day and the crew will leave you more bags. Please remember to remove the tag and reuse it again when you need more liners. If you have not received a red tag email cleansing@newtownabbey.gov.uk
Liners can be collected from the following Council sites: Valley Leisure Centre, Ballyearl Arts & Leisure Centre, Sixmile Leisure Centre, Ballyclare Town Hall and Mossley Mill.
