Sort-It Waste Collection 2024
Recycling and waste collections do not take place on Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year’s Day, so we schedule changes to collection days while we catch up. Download a copy of the Christmas schedule for waste collection by clicking on the image. Most of the extra waste you get at Christmas can be recycled and making full use of your recycling collection will help to save space in the black bin.
- Recycle wrapping paper and greetings cards without
glitter, plastic or foil decorations. They must be in
a recyclable gift bag or small cardboard box to be
collected. - Put extra card in a cardboard box (no larger than your
green recycling boxes). - Stack your recycling boxes to prevent litter in your
street. - Sort your recycling – put plastic bottles, tubs and trays
with metal cans, aerosols and foil, but keep your other
items separated in your recycling boxes.
