No single-use bags, better for the environment
EcoPay gives you the same flexibility of putting your rubbish out when you want, just like with a bag or a tag, but without the additional plastic waste. Transferring away from using bags may seem like a small change; however, it will decrease single-use plastics, which is better for the environment.

What can go in my EcoPay wheelie bin?
Your EcoPay wheelie bin is intended for most household general waste. However, please note that the following items should not be placed in the bin:
- Concrete
- Stones
- Steel
- Wood
- Hot ashes
- Liquids
- Dead animals
- Dirt or sand
- Hazardous or flammable materials
To ensure the appropriate use of the bin, kindly refrain from disposing of these restricted items. Should you have inquiries about specific materials, feel free to contact us for further guidance.
What time should I have my bin out?
To ensure timely collection, kindly position your bin by the kerbside no later than 7:00 AM on the scheduled collection day.
Many of our customers find it convenient to place their wheelie bins out the night before, which is a great advantage of a wheelie bin as pests cannot get into the rubbish.
