Changes to recycling and waste collections

We've been working hard to maintain your key Council services throughout the pandemic, no more so than our recycling and waste collections. 

From 12 April, your waste and recycling collection day may change – this is part of a key review of the service to help reduce distances travelled, and protect the environment for the future. Look out for your new calendar to see how these changes affect you.
