Waste collections calendar

Below you will find a link to a PDF download showing your full Waste and Recycling calendar for April 2024 to March 2025. 

The calendar shows:

• details of bank holiday collections changes
• which bins will be emptied on which days
• when we will collect extra garden waste from those properties that subscribe to our garden waste service.

All bins should be put out for collection before 6am, with the lids firmly closed.

Christmas and New Year collection changes

When there’s a bank holiday or official public holiday, our waste and recycling collections will follow a revised schedule.

Here are the collection changes for the next holiday period:

Please note – to ensure crews are able to collect the additional waste and recycling produced over Christmas, garden waste collections will be paused between 25 December and 7 January. This service resumes from Wednesday 8 January / the week commencing 13 January, depending on your next scheduled collection – if you are unsure when this is, please check Binzone.

For more details about waste and recycling collections over Christmas, please see our Christmas Waste page.
