Collections due on Friday 26 December will take place on Monday 29 December

Collections due on Thursday 1 January will take place on Saturday 3 January

All other collection days remain as normal.

Garden waste

Subscribers are advised there will be a short break in our garden waste collection service, which will be suspended from Monday 22 December through to Sunday 4 January. It will resume its usual schedule from the week beginning Monday 5 January.

Real tree collections

Crews will collect real Christmas trees from Monday 5 January through to Friday 16 January. You do not need a garden waste subscription to take advantage of this.

Residents in the Daventry and South Northants areas should put real Christmas trees out on the day garden waste is due to be collected in their area.

Please ensure trees over 6ft tall are cut in half so they fit in the lorries safely, and ensure all decorations are removed. Trees can also be taken to your nearest Household Waste Recycling Centre.

Food waste

Food waste bins will continue to be collected on their usual weekly schedule. Please remember you can recycle leftover raw and cooked foods, including veg peelings, egg shells, out-of-date food, plate scrapings, solid fats, meat and fish bones.

Do not put in any liquids and don’t forget that when it comes to lining your caddy – any bag will do!
