Christmas bin and recycling services - find out when your recycling and waste collections will be over the holidays and what to do with your real Christmas tree when the festivities are over.
What goes in my bin?
Find out how to use your recycling boxes, bins and bags and what goes in each bin.
We live in a beautiful part of the world and we want to keep it that way for future generations. That is why tackling climate change is one of our main priorities and why we want to achieve a 50% recycling rate by 2030.
As part of that drive, we have simplified your recycling to help you put the right stuff in the right box. Let’s all work together to protect our planet.
