Bin service over Christmas
Find out what is happening to the bin collection service over the festive period including any collection date changes and what to do with Christmas trees and excess waste.
Extra general refuse
We can't accept side waste accepted for your general refuse bin. Bin lids must be closed as we will not accept any overfilled bins.
Please take any excess waste to your local Household Waste Recycling Centre for disposal.
Extra recycling
You can present any extra clean, dry and loose recycling in an open cardboard box if the weather permits this. Alternatively, use a clear plastic bag next to the bin.
Excess cardboard must be flattened and stacked neatly against the recycling bin if the weather permits this.
Polystyrene can't be recycled.
Garden waste
There is a two garden waste collection break from Monday 25 December.
