Bank Holiday collections

Our services do not change on Bank Holidays; your waste and recycling will be collected on the usual day. This includes Easter, and all spring and summer Bank Holidays.

Christmas 2017

Over Christmas and the New Year, your bins may be emptied on a different day. Details will be published on this site and in a leaflet delivered to all homes in the autumn. All garden waste collections are suspended over the Christmas and New Year period.

Food waste

Find ways to store food , and use up left-overs , to reduce the amount of food in your bin, and save you money.

Recycling

Please put paper, card, tins, cans, aerosols and plastic bottles in the blue lid recycling bin. Unfortunately no plastic other than bottles are accepted (no plastic pots, tubs, trays or packaging). Please put everything loose in the blue lid bin, not in bags. Gift wrap cannot be put in recycling bins.

Empty jars and bottles can go in the glass recycling banks around the Borough.

Clothes and textiles can be taken to the textile banks.
