All recycling, food waste and refuse collections will return to normal from Monday 2 January 2023. Please ensure recycling, food waste and refuse are made available at 7.30am on the correct collection day and placed on the kerbside at the front of your property.
Households with a real Christmas tree can help support Saint Francis Hospice as well as recycling the tree in the New Year. For a voluntary donation, volunteers for the hospice will collect and recycle your Christmas tree between Friday 6th - Monday 9th January 2023. Residents will need to register the collection before 8am on Tuesday 3rd January 2023. Last year, the Hospice raised more than £16,000 through generous donations for this service, so you can really make a difference. For more information and to register your tree please visit www.sfh.org.uk/tree-recycling. Christmas trees can also be collected with your normal garden waste.

In the case of severe weather conditions, some services may be disrupted. Please check our website for details of any service changes.
