Garden waste
Our garden waste service will be suspended from Monday 21 December and restart on Monday 4 January 2027. If you have a real Christmas tree and you're using the service, we’ll collect it on your first collection in the new year. Trees over 6ft tall should be cut into smaller pieces that can be lifted by one person.
Clinical waste collections
As regular clinical waste collections are on Mondays and Tuesdays, there will be no change to these collections over the Christmas and New Year period.
