Garden waste

Garden waste collections will stop on 22 December.

From Monday 8 January, garden waste collections resume for subscribers to the service in the east of the borough, on your recycling day. This will be from Monday 15 January in the west of the borough.

Christmas trees

In early 2024, we will collect one Christmas tree free from all households. Between 8-19 January, on your normal recycling day only, one Christmas tree per property will be collected. It should be left whole, next to your recycling bin.

Outside this period, Christmas trees will only be collected by the garden waste collection service. Subscription to this service is required and trees must be broken up and placed in the garden waste bin. Sign up to our Clip and Collect garden waste subscription service here.

Food waste

Find ways to store food External Hyperlink, and use up leftovers External Hyperlink, 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.

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

Clothes and textiles can be taken to the textile banks.
