All collection dates outside those stated above will be completed as normal.

You can check your collection days by visiting the ‘Local Info’ webpage:

Please ensure that all waste is placed out before 7am for collection.

Christmas time leads to more waste, due to this residents can put out one extra bag of black bag waste for their first collection after Christmas Day from 27th December 2024 to 7th January 2025.

There is no limit to the amount of recycling you can put out for collection.

Festive wrapping paper can be recycled in red bags, provided it’s not made from foil, plastic, or glitter wrap. Christmas cards can also be recycled in your red bags. All food waste can be recycled using the kerbside collection.
