Waste and recycling collections over Christmas
Recycling box collections due on Monday 25 December will be brought forward to Saturday 23 December.
Waste bin collections due on New Year’s Day (Monday 1 January) will take place on Saturday 6 January.
Residents will be provided with an additional red refuse sack for their additional waste as they will go five additional days between collections. The red sacks are 90 litres in capacity which is almost half the capacity of a standard wheelie bin.
In order to focus attention on collecting wrapping paper, present packaging, glass and tins, foil and all household plastics (apart from thin film), the Council will once again be suspending green waste collections from Monday 18 December, with collections restarting the week beginning Monday 15 January.
