Changes to services over the festive period

Trade waste collections

There will be no Trade General Waste, Recycling, or Food Collections on Thursday 25 and Friday 26 December and Thursday 1 and Friday 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 1 collection per week and one of these is usually Thursday or Friday, this collection will be cancelled and all waste, including excess will be cleared on the next scheduled collection day (except for Food which will be rescheduled as indicated below.)

Where customers have only 1 collection per week, usually on Thursday or Friday, these collections will be rescheduled as shown in the table below
