If you have coronavirus symptoms you should put used tissues in a separate bin bag, tie it securely and leave it for 72 hours before putting it into their wheelie bin.
Households using Communal bins
Please leave your tree beside your communal bin, ensuring the bin is still accessible to others and collections crews.
If you live north of the streets listed below your collection will be 4 - 8 January.
If you live on or south of Beach Boulevard, Justice Street, Castlegate, Union Street, Albyn Place, Queens Road and Skene Road then we will collect your tree 11 - 15 January.
Please take your Christmas tree to your nearest Household Waste and Recycling Centre out with these dates.
Fortnightly collections of mixed recycling and brown bins
The fortnightly collection of household mixed recycling bins and brown bin collections (for garden waste and food waste) has restarted from Monday 3 August 2020.
Collection days will remain the same and fortnightly collection calendars are available to view and download.
Whilst the collections are returning to the normal frequency, please be aware that our crews are still operating differently due to Covid in order to continue to follow measures for reducing the spread of coronavirus. Collection routes may be completed slower than planned in the first few weeks and we thank residents for their patience during this time. If your street was missed on your collection day please leave your bin out until the next day.
Household waste and recycling centres
Household waste and recycling centres have reopened and are operating on a reduced service in response to COVID-19.
From 10 August, you must book an appointment to visit a Household Waste and Recycling Centre if you are:
- arriving in a larger vehicle or trailer
- bringing paint or chemicals in any vehicle (Hazlehead is the only site that can accept these materials)
Cars and small vans can continue to access the sites without a booking but will still require to bring proof of address.
For more information and to book an appointment please visit: Book an appointment at a household Waste and Recycling Centre.
