No Christmas Day Bin Collections
A friendly reminder to all residents that our garbage collection trucks will be taking a break on Christmas day.
Please place your bins on the kerb for your normal bin day & we’ll come by to collect them either that day or the next.
If it’s not collected on its usual day, rest assured, we’re on our way!
Extra Recycling Collection for all Residents!
All residents will receive an extra recycling collection between 29 December and 9 January 2026 (inclusive).
Make sure you put your recycling bin out during this period!
