Extra glass can be put out in a sturdy plastic box with handles, no larger than 38 litres and weighing under 5.5kg.

Garden waste collections will pause from Monday, December 22, restarting on Monday, January 5, 2026.

Real Christmas trees will be collected on the first scheduled garden waste round of the new year, although trees over six feet tall must be cut into pieces manageable for one person.

Clinical waste collections will continue as normal, as these rounds fall on Mondays and Tuesdays.
