Please note that special arrangements are in place for collection of refuse and recycling over Christmas and the New Year.
Green, brown and food waste bins and red and blue box collections
Bins will not be collected on 25 December and 1 January but will instead be picked up on Saturday 28 December and Saturday 4 January respectively.
If the Council don’t pick up the bin on the day listed above, they are asking residents to leave it out until we collect it.
Please note that unlike previous years collections that fall on Boxing Day 26 December and Thursday 2 January will happen as normal. Residents should ensure that their bins are out by 6am on the collection day.
Christmas tree recycling
Christmas trees can be recycled at any of the three Community Recycling Centres, which will be open throughout the festive period (except for 25 & 26 Dec and 1 & 2 January)
The Council will also be providing a kerbside Christmas Tree recycling collection. If residents have a brown bin or live in a brown bin area, they are being asked to place their tree at the kerbside, next to the brown bin, by 6am on the next garden waste day.
To enable trees to be recycled residents are reminded to:
· Remove all decorations from the Christmas tree
· If the tree is 6ft tall or more, please cut it in half
· Do not place trees in plastic bags, as this means we cannot recycle it
· Remove any tree stands
Trees will also be collected from communal bin areas during January. Residents can go to www.edinburgh.gov.uk/recycle for more details.
2014 collection calendars
There are no changes to collection days for 2014. Residents can download their collection calendars at www.edinburgh.gov.uk/recycle or call 0131 529 3030 for a copy.
Special uplifts
There will be no special uplift service between Tuesday 24 December and 7 January. Normal service will resume on Tuesday 7 January.
