Food Waste Caddy Delivery

Food waste caddies are being delivered from 12 January 2026, ahead of March collections.  For more information visit the food waste page.

Recycle your real Christmas tree

If you have a garden waste subscription, throughout January, you can place your real Christmas tree next to your garden waste bin on your collection day. If your tree is taller than your bin, please cut it in half so it can be collected easily.  Or you can take your tree to your Household Recycling Centre
