| | Wheelie Bins & Refuse Collections |
 | | Most homes in Swale now make use of wheelie bins, and their introduction has proven to have been very successful, with wheelie bins becoming the favoured means of waste containment in the Borough (premises where wheelie bins are not viable due to storage or access constrains may continue to use plastic bags). |
 | | Most households in Swale are entitled to a free wheelie bin, with the exception of new development's built after January 12th 1993, and in addition to providing bins, Swale will also provide replacement bins free of charge should yours become damaged or unsuitable for use. |
 | | It is the developer's responsibility to purchase bins for the development after 12th January 1993, but in a case where the developer won't supply bins, residents may purchase a bin for themselves at a cost of £35. |
