Bin collections over the holiday period
Christmas can mean extra rubbish. Therefore, for the first collection after Christmas only we will collect extra rubbish sacks left by your black/grey bin.We also collect extra recycling too. As long as it is inside a clear bin liner we can collect:
tins
cans
plastic bottles
aerosols
paper and card
In dry weather you can leave extra cardboard next to your recycling bin. Please ensure it is flattened and no bigger than 1m x 1m.
Wrapping paper cannot be recycled so please put it in your black/grey waste bin.
Collection days will change over the Christmas break and the revised dates are shownbelow.

Garden waste collection
There will be a two-week break for garden waste collections over the festive period. Collections will stop after Friday 20 December and will resume on your normal collection day from Monday 6 January 2025. Please put your brown bin out on your normal collection day NOT on the Festive collection day as listed above. You will still need to put your other bin(s), out on the Festive collection day.
As a garden waste subscriber you can place your Christmas tree out for collection with your bin and/sacks (trees 6ft should be cut in half). Please ensure all decorations are removed.
