Understanding business rates bills
Use our handy guide to help you understand your business rates bill, what the 2026 revaluation means for you, and what support may be available.
Keeping council tax low
We keep around 9% of the council tax you pay to deliver services, including bins, parks, planning, housing support, environmental health and more. The average household will pay 8p more a week towards our services this year.
Vapes and batteries
Please do not throw vapes or batteries in any of your bins. These can set on fire and risk our vehicles, crew safety and the safety of the processing plants that sort your waste.
