Christmas collection day changes During the two week Christmas break, bin collections will change. You can find out more information by looking at our online bin calendar: Online bin calendar General information Collections return to normal from Friday 2 January. Garden Waste collections will be paused for two weeks over Christmas and New Year, resuming in January. On the next collection after Christmas we will accept: As a result of delayed collections, households will be allowed to present any excess waste or recycling as bagged ‘side-waste’ alongside their wheelie bin when usual collections are resumed. Please present additional recycling material in card boxes or clear bags on the scheduled day. Please note: Residents are reminded that many Christmas related products can be recycled - most cards are paper based and can be recycled in the blue wheeled bins (no glitter please) along with cardboard boxes. But due to the make-up of wrapping paper and the amount of sticky tape and embellishments that cause problems at recycling plants, residents are asked to dispose of wrapping paper in their grey bin.
