Your bin collections will change over the festive period.
We have fewer crews collecting your bins during the bank holidays so it may take us a little while to catch up.
We’ll share updates on our social media and WhatsApp channel if we're running behind in your area.

Christmas tree collection
From Monday 6 January, we'll take your real Christmas trees as part of the green top bin service.
You need to remove all decorations and place your tree next to your bin.
Bulky waste collection
Our bulky waste collection service will be closed from 24 December 2025 until 5 January 2026.
To dispose of bulky waste during the Christmas period, use our Reuse and Recycling Centre in Nathan Way. It will be open throughout our festive period except for:
- Christmas Day
- Boxing Day
- New Years Day
Thank you for your understanding and we wish all those celebrating a Merry Christmas.
