Bin collections over the Festive period

With Christmas just around the corner, make sure you check when your bins are due for collection.  Bin collections will be delayed due to the Christmas and New Year bank holidays, with normal collections resuming on Monday 15th January 2018. 

To check your bin collection calendar, please use our online collection day finder. 

Real Christmas Tree Recycling

If you are celebrating Christmas this year with a real Christmas Tree, did you know you can recycle it in the New Year?  Once the festivities are over and the decorations have been taken down, you can take your real Christmas tree to one of our collection points for recycling, between 30th December and 12th January. Click here for a list of locations where you can recycle your tree.
