Garden waste collections for subscribers to the council’s Garden Waste Recycling Scheme will finish on Friday 20 December. They will restart for subscribers to the 2025 scheme from the week commencing 20 January.
Check your bin collection schedule.
Your bins are emptied on the same day each week. Recycling bins, and garden bins for those who have a subscription, are emptied one week and the non-recyclable waste (black) bin on the following week on a 2 week cycle.
You will usually have 3 bins: a recycling bin, a garden bin and a bin for non-recyclable waste. To find out what goes into each bin or how to dispose of things like batteries, engine oil, needles and syringes see our page on what waste goes where.
You can see which bins we empty on which days on our bin collection calendar.

You should place your bins beside the road at the edge of your property by 6.30 am on your bin collection day. You should return your bins to your own property as soon as possible after they have been emptied.
If you want to report a bin that hasn't been collected go to the missed bin collection page.
If there is a disruption to bin collections we will put this on our Twitter feed.
