With the festive season fast approaching, residents are being advised on the arrangements for waste and recycling collections over the Christmas and New Year period.
West Northamptonshire Council’s (WNC) waste and recycling collection crews will be working throughout the festive season to make sure that residents can continue to recycle and dispose of their Christmas waste.
Downloadable bin calendars that detail the collection arrangements for the year ahead are now available on the Council’s website and residents can also download the West Northamptonshire Council app to check collections, what goes in which bin and set regular reminders.
The main things to remember are:
Additional recycling can be put out in clear plastic bags or boxes alongside recycling bins and boxes or can also be taken to the nearest Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC).
Our recycling centres are open as usual throughout the festive period except for Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day, when they will be closed. Centres will also close early on Christmas Eve, at 2pm.
Cllr Rebecca Breese, WNC’s Cabinet Member for Environment, Recycling and Waste said: “I would like to say a big thank you to our collection crews and waste and recycling centre staff who continuously provide an outstanding and essential service to residents throughout the year, in all weather conditions.
“During the festive season, households often have more recycling and waste, and I would encourage people to ensure that they are disposing of their waste properly, so that we can all do our bit to recycle. People can find out more on what goes in which bin and search for tips about how to have a more sustainable Christmas, for example by reducing their food waste, via our website or on the WNC app.”
