If you’re one of our Garden Waste subscribers, then collections will be paused as usual. There are no garden waste collections from Thursday 25 December to Wednesday 7 January. Garden Waste collections re-start on Thursday 8 January.
Recycling sites seasonal closures
All of our recycling sites will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. Sites will be open as usual on other days.
If you have a real Christmas tree that you wish to throw away, you can recycle it via the garden waste skips at any of the sites.
If you have a lot of wrapping paper, you can take it to any recycling site. Each will have a special drop-off point for recyclable wrapping paper; do not put it in the skips for card. Unrecyclable paper should be put in the general rubbish.
