Christmas Waste and Recycling Collection Arrangements

Posted 5 months ago in West Northamptonshire Council

With the festive season fast approaching, we are advising residents of the arrangements for waste and recycling collections over the Christmas and New Year period.

Waste and recycling collection crews will be working throughout the festive season to make sure services are delivered on time and with no delays.

Collection changes

South Northamptonshire area collections due on Tuesday 26 December, will instead take place on Saturday 23 December. All other collections will take place on their normal days.  

Garden waste

Those subscribed to the service are advised there will be a short break in collections from 23 December until 5 January.

Real tree collections 

Crews will collect real Christmas trees between 8 and 19 January. You do not need a garden waste subscription to take advantage of this. 

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

Additional recycling 

If you have more recycling than your bin can handle, you can put it in clear plastic bags or boxes and present it alongside your recycling bins or boxes. You can also take this to your nearest Household Waste Recycling Centre.
