DO NOT leave it outside on the verge as the baboons will make a mess. Once a bag is full, place in the marked bins outside the back door. If you hear the refuse truck, take out to them. If not, PLEASE dispose of the refuse at the drop site at the entrance to Pringle Bay. The staff are very friendly and will assist you. The site is also open after hours.
