Bins and recycling
All you need to know about bins, recycling, bulky and assisted collections
Due to the snowy and icy conditions, we have been unable to perform some bin collections. Our crews are out and will continue to complete collections where it is safe to do so.
If we have been unable to empty your bin, please leave it out, and our crews will return to collect all unemptied bins as soon as possible.
Brown bin collections were paused for 2 weeks over Christmas and will restart on Thursday 8 January. Real Christmas trees (minus decorations and bases) of 6 feet or less can be left next to brown bins, or be cut up and put in the bin for collection on your usual scheduled day up to 4 February 2026.
