Household waste and recycling collections

We run a regular household waste and recycling collection service.

Household waste collection dates

Recycling collection calendars will now be produced annually and distributed prior to Christmas.

Please phone or email us with your address to find out the dates for your household waste collection.

Regular collection dates change over bank holidays. Your recycling collection calendar will include the revised collection dates. If you receive a weekly refuse collection you will need to refer to the bank holiday revised collection dates. Please download our bank holiday collection dates leaflet below.
