Christmas and New Year bin collections and recycling services

Please help them by recycling as much as you can and cutting down on the amount of rubbish you put out.

This year there will be the following changes to your bin collection dates over the festive period.

From Monday 15th January 2023, your bin collections will return to normal.

Remember to:

  • Leave your bins by the boundary of your property by 6am on your collection day (only put bins on the street if you don’t have a front garden or drive).
  • Put your rubbish inside your wheelie bin with the lid closed shut.

Wheelie Bins

 

  • your grey bin for general waste is collected weekly.
  • your brown bin for recycling is collected fortnightly.
  • your green bin is for garden waste and is collected fortnightly (when the scheme is active) if you've signed up for our green garden waste service.

On collection day, bins are scheduled to be emptied between 6am and 10pm.

Presenting your bins for collection

Leave your bins:

  • at the front boundary of your property
  • bins need to be presented for collection by 6am on the bin collection day

We will not empty your bin if it:

  • isn't at the front boundary of your property
  • contains waste that should be in a different bin or waste that would damage the collection vehicle
  • is too heavy to be lifted safely by the collection vehicle
  • contains too much waste - the lid must close
