Please note: we will not collect any extra general rubbish in addition to what is inside your normal wheelie bin.

Recycling collections

Unfortunately, we are unable to rearrange recycling collections that are affected over the Christmas period. All recycling will be collected on the next scheduled collection.

Extra recycling can be placed next to recycling bins in untied carrier bags. Please make sure any cardboard boxes are folded flat.

Recycle your Christmas tree

If you have a real Christmas tree no higher than 6ft, we can recycle it for you.
