Garden waste collections over the winter period
We will temporarily pause garden waste collections for 12 weeks this winter, from Monday, 1 December 2025 to Friday, 20 February 2026. Collections will resume on Monday, 23 February 2026.
The final garden waste collection for each area will take place during the week beginning either Monday, 17 November or Monday, 24 November. All other waste and recycling collections will continue as normal during this period.
Please disregard any garden waste collection dates shown after 1 December. All dates up to 1 December are correct and will be your final garden waste collections for the year.
Waste services over Christmas and New Year
Every year during Christmas and New Year, there are changes to your waste services. This includes adjustments to the days your bins are collected and the opening times of our recycling centres, to accommodate for bank holidays.
Christmas (2025) and New Year (2026) bin timetable
Please put your wheelie bin or bag out by 7am on your revised collection dates. You'll be back to your usual collection day from Monday, 5 January 2026.
