Bulky waste collections
As CAD, the company operating the bulky waste collections service on the Council’s behalf, is closing over the Christmas period, there will be no bulky waste collections between Friday 20 December and Monday 6 January. Residents will still be able to reserve collection slots during this time and collections will restart from 6 January.
During this time, residents can book to visit our waste and recycling parks. Details of what is accepted in our parks are available on our website.
Councillor Barry Mellor, Lead Member for Environment and Transport said: “The festive period can produce a lot of recycling and waste as it is a celebratory time for all. From wrapping paper to bottles, there are a lot of extra items that our brilliant waste teams collect over the holiday period. We thank all residents for understanding these changes, and also thank them for their co-operation.”
Full details about Christmas and New Year information is on the Council’s website.
Residents can check how to recycle items on the Council’s A-Z recycling guide online on our website.
