The garden waste recycling service will move to new pick-up dates from December.  Garden waste wheelie bins will be collected every 4 weeks during December, January and February.

You can find out when your garden waste will be picked up by:

·        entering your post code at www.greenboxday.co.uk

·        e-mailing waste@edinburgh.gov.uk

·        telephoning 0131 529 3030.

For those with real Christmas trees to recycle, please cut your tree into 5 feet lengths and place it beside your garden waste bin on your January pick up date

Help please!

UPDATE, 1 Dec: Sadly this event has been cancelled


Helpers are required for the Christmas Tree lighting on December 4th.  


We need people to steward, shepherd and look after the crowd, make mulled wine and distribute songsheets.
