MGB in General tips
(Wheelie Bins)
Lids on MGB’s (Wheelies) must be closed before our truck can lift to prevent damage to the lid.
Multiple bins must be placed at least 1 metre apart so truck can lift.
Bins must be placed away from obstructions such as power poles, trees, vehicles and uneven ground.
Regularly check the pins on your MGB, if they are loose or missing we can provide new ones.
