Festive waste and recycling services

We are sorry but we are not offering the following services between Christmas Eve (24 December 2018) and Friday 4 January 2019:

Bulky waste collections
Scrap metal collections
Bin removals
Delivery of new/additional bins*

*If you have an urgent request (for example your black bin has gone missing, or you have just moved into a new house and have no bins) please contact our customers services team on 0345 002 0022 and we will do our best to help you as soon as we can. Find out about our festive telephone opening times.

To find out when your bins will be emptied over the festive period, please check our online bin calendar.

Please do not use black bin bags in your blue bin(s)

Please do not use black bin bags in your blue bin(s). Please put recycling items into your blue bin loose or use clear plastic bags that you can see through.

This is because we are having more and more loads of recycling rejected by our recycling partners due to black bin bags.

Our recycling partners process thousands of tonnes of waste from council areas across the country and if they see a black bin bag they will reject a load. This is because they cannot tell what is in it. If this happens, an entire truck load of recycling is sent to landfill instead of being recycled.

We are putting stickers on your blue bin lids to remind you not to use black bin bags.

Please help us to recycle as much as possible by not using black bin bags in your blue bin(s) and put items in loose or in clear plastic bags only. Find out more.

Thank you,

The waste and reycling team
