Website maintenance

Some of our online services may be unavailable from 8pm on Wednesday 1 October while we carry out essential website maintenance. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Christmas and New Year waste collections

Our staff will be working extra days over Christmas and the New Year so you don’t miss a waste and recycling collection. Most collections will take place later than usual.

Please put your recycling and general waste out at 7am on your collection day to help prevent attracting animals and the build-up of litter.

Our Garden Waste Collection Service will not be running from Monday 15 December until Monday 12 January when a normal service will resume.
