 Your recycling and waste collection days will be different over the Christmas period. Here are the dates to put out your recycling and waste this festive season. You can also find the collection dates on our website.
Christmas creates a lot of waste and it's not always obvious what is recyclable and what isn't. Our guide on our website should help you know what to do when getting rid of the more tricky items you might have this Christmas.
We’re thinking about changing the price of long-stay parking in our car parks – and we want you to have your say.
After keeping our parking charges the same for more than two years, inflation and rising costs means we’re planning to increase the cost of parking in our long-stay car parks – though short stay parking prices will remain the same.
We think that increasing the long stay prices – and keeping short stay prices the same – will reduce any impact on our local businesses, shoppers and everyone using essential high street services. But we want to hear from you.
Here’s exactly what we’re thinking of doing:
- Increase long stay fees at all of our long stay car parks in Hatherleigh and Chagford, Mill Road Car Park in Okehampton, and Abbey, Bedford and Riverside car parks in Tavistock
- Change Abbey Car Park in Tavistock from a 4 hour maximum stay to a 6 hour maximum stay car park
- Brentor and Lydford car parks will return to Dartmoor National Park Authority to operate
- Keep short stay parking prices the same

Will you be enjoying a tipple or two this Christmas? Did you know that most drinks containers are recyclable?
- Plastic bottles, their lids and metal lids from glass jars and bottles - in your white sack
- Juice cartons - in recycling box 2
- Glass bottles - in recycling box 1
- Corks (natural and plastic) - these are not recyclable and should go in your grey bin
