Rubbish & recycling
Every household in Salford produces nearly a tonne of waste every year. On average every person in the UK throws away their own body weight in rubbish every two months!
Getting rid of domestic waste is expensive - and there are lots of ways in which you can help - by re-using, recycling and composting.
Here at Salford City Council we are doing our bit by providing a kerbside recycling collection service to help you reduce what you produce.
These pages provide information on arrangements for rubbish and recycling facilities in Salford, as well as our arrangements for cleaning streets and dealing with abandoned cars.
