Refuse & Recycling Collections for Christmas and New Year

There will be no refuse, recycling or food waste collections on Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year's Day.

The revised collection arrangements are shown in the table below: 

Collections will return to normal from Monday 12 January 2026.

Please ensure that your bins are presented at the edge of your property by 6am on your new collection date.

Extra waste
Please note that no additional general waste (refuse) placed by or on top of your grey refuse bin will be collected.

If you have any additional recycling, you can place it in a box or rigid container next to your blue-lidded wheeled bin for collection. Please flatten or cut cardboard pieces no larger than 1mx1m.

Please remember to put all your food waste in your food caddies and do not dispose of any batteries or electrical waste in your grey refuse bin.
