Store all wheelie bins away, especially at night, to avoid them becoming a target for arsonists

Only place your wheelie bin out on collection day and return it to your property as soon as possible after collection

Whenever possible, wheelie bins should be stored securely behind locked gates

Do not overfill your wheelie bins or leave loose rubbish around them
