Changes to bin collections over the festive period

There will be no grey, blue or green bin collections on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 25 and 26 December 2024 and 1 and 2 January 2025, due to the public holidays.

Residents whose collections are due on these days should put their bins out on the following Friday, so either Friday 27 December 2024 or Friday 3 January 2025 instead.

Bins will be collected over the course of the following week, so please leave them out until they are emptied.

No brown bin collections will take place over the two-week festive period, with last collections on Tuesday 24 December 2024 and the service resuming on Wednesday 8 January 2025, which will allow resources to be prioritised on grey, blue and green bin collections.

All other collections are as scheduled, and to check your collections dates or sign up for useful email reminders.

Bins should be by the kerbside by 7am on collection day and they should be left out until they are emptied.
