Please put your refuse and recycling out by 7am on the morning of collection. Anyone putting out refuse on the wrong day could face a fine.
Following the festive period, collections resume as normal from Friday January 2.
Green box and blue bag recycling collections will still take place in your normal week, although the day will change in line with the revised refuse collection dates.
Please leave your refuse and recycling at your usual collection point. Times of collection may vary from normal and occasionally circumstances beyond our control may result in collections being delayed. Your patience in these circumstances is appreciated and please do not report uncollected refuse until after 2pm the following working day.
