Some bin collection days are changing over the Christmas & New Year period. To view your next bin collection day, visit our online bin calendar or find out more about our Christmas bin collection changes and what to do with excess festive waste.

We will close for Christmas at 4pm on Christmas Eve. If you WhatsApp us before 12noon we will try to get back to you. We will open again on Monday 29 December at 9am. We then close again for New Year at 4pm on 31 December (New Year's Eve) and reopen on Friday 2 January at 9am. If you need urgent out of hours support whilst we are closed (for example you are homeless tonight), please contact our out of hours service on 01527 406643. If your query is not urgent, please WhatsApp us 01543 308171 and we will get back to you the next working day. We wish all our customers a very happy Christmas and New Year!
