What Changes Over Christmas?
Christmas week, Boxing Day, and New Year bank holidays often push normal collection rounds back by one or more days. Some councils add Saturday collections, some suspend garden waste, and many provide extra Christmas tree recycling points in January.
Tips for Managing Extra Waste
- Flatten cardboard boxes and remove plastic packaging.
- Keep metallic or glitter wrapping paper out of paper recycling.
- Use food caddies or composting for unavoidable food waste where available.
- Check your council before leaving Christmas trees at the kerb.
