General information

Collections return to normal from Thursday 2 January.

On the next collection after Christmas we will accept:

  • As a result of delayed collections, households will be allowed to present any excess waste or recycling as bagged ‘side-waste’ alongside their wheelie bin when usual collections are resumed.
  • Please present additional recycling material in card boxes or clear bags on the scheduled day.

Please note: Residents are reminded that many Christmas related products can be recycled - most cards are paper based and can be recycled in the blue wheeled bins (no glitter please) along with cardboard boxes. But due to the make-up of wrapping paper and the amount of sticky tape and embellishments that cause problems at recycling plants, residents are asked to dispose of wrapping paper in their grey bin.
