Changes to services over the festive period

Trade waste collections

All trade general waste, recycling and food collections on Wednesdays and Thursdays will be cancelled on 25 and 26 December and 1 and 2 January.

Trade customers who receive a fortnightly service will be subject to the same changes as the domestic/household collection schedules.

Where trade customers have more than one collection per week and one of these has been cancelled, excess will be cleared on the next scheduled collection day, except for food which will be rescheduled as indicated below.

Where customers have only one collection per week and this has been cancelled collection will be undertaken as shown in the tables below:
