The current garden waste service will stop after your collection between 6 and 17 December. The new service will commence from February 2022.
In early 2022 we will be offering a free Christmas tree collection service. Between 10 and 21 January, on your normal recycling day only, one Christmas tree per property will be collected. It should be left next to your recycling bin. In future years, Christmas trees will only be collected as part of the new garden waste subscription service.
