Christmas and New Year Waste & Recycling Collections
Waste and Recycling collections in Wealden District over the Christmas week 26-30 December are being advanced a day – Monday collections will take place on Tuesday, Tuesday collections on Wednesday… and Friday collections will take place on Saturday 31 December.
Collections return to normal the following week, with Monday’s waste and recycling collections taking place on the Monday 2 January Bank Holiday.
To allow for these changes, we are suspending all garden waste collections for the two weeks from Monday 26 December to Friday 6 January.
