Christmas and New Year Collections 2026/27

We have a revised household waste collection schedule over the Christmas Period.

Here is the timetable of waste collections over Christmas and into the New Year. The Linford HWRC (tip) will also be operating on a revised schedule.

We have a revised collection schedule running over Christmas and the New Year

Christmas and New Year is a particularly busy period for waste and recycling collections.

Where possible, please ensure that parked vehicles do not obstruct access to collection points so that our crews can continue to provide services in accordance with the revised collection schedule.
