Christmas Waste Collection

Bin collections in Elton in the two weeks AFTER Christmas day will be one day LATER than usual. So, as bins are normally collected on a Wednesday, they will be collected on a Thursday following Christmas Day.

Your recycling (blue bin/blue box and bag) will be collected on Thursday 27 December 2018.
Your grey bin or black sacks will be collected on Thursday 4 January 2019.

Other points to note regarding your Christmas waste collection…

  • Garden waste collections will be suspended from 22 December to 5 January inclusive.
  • Food waste will still be collected weekly over the Christmas period.
  • REAL Christmas trees will be collected from the edge of your property between Monday 7 January and Friday 1 February for collection. Please make sure all decorations are removed!
  • Non-glitter cards and wrapping paper can be left in your blue bin insert or blue bag.
  • Crews WILL NOT be able to collect any additional household waste. So, please make sure all household waste is contained in your grey bin or 4 black standard sized sacks on collections day.
  • Crews WILL take excess recycling. Simply place extra materials at the side of your recycling containers, making sure it is easily identifiable as recycling materials.
