Household Waste
Coal and Wood Ash
Coal and wood ash cannot be accepted in your local council's kerbside recycling bin, bag or box. Coal and wood ash (cold) can be placed in your local council's kerbside residual bin for disposal. Wood ash is also excellent for placing around the garden as a soil improver, as it contains valuable minerals, or place it in your compost bin or heap, in small quantities.
