Collections return to the usual days from Monday 5 January.
Garden waste collections stop over Christmas and new year. The last collection will be on Friday, 19 December, with the service resuming from Monday 5 January.
Christmas trees
Real Christmas tree recycling sites across the city will be open from Monday 29 December until Friday 6 February. Please remove all decorations and the pot or stand before leaving your tree.

Brighton and Hove City Council says anyone leaving trees on the pavement, road or beside a communal bin could be fined for fly-tipping.
However, if you have a garden waste subscription you can leave your tree next to your garden waste bin for collection on your usual day.
The city’s two household waste recycling sites (tips) off Old Shoreham Road in Hove and off Wilson Avenue in Brighton will be open as follows:
- Christmas Eve, 24 December – open from 8am to 1pm
- Christmas Day and Boxing Day, 25 and 26 December – closed
- New Year’s Eve, 31 December – open from 8am to 1pm
- New Year’s Day, 1 January – closed
Outside of these dates, both sites will be open as usual.
Am I alone in feeling rather sad that a newspaper (albeit an electronic one) actually allows, “when is bins?” to go out? Have standards really fallen that far?
I mean, the Daily Fail still exists sir!
Agree 100%. The council bring out fancy apps with live information, but all I really want to know is when to put my bin out, and for the council to tell me if the date changes.
Why on earth don’t the council have information like the above easy to access table. If you want to find out your bin day on the council’s website you have to go through various screens before you find out the info you’re after. It shouldn’t be up to the local media to tell residents things the council should be making clear themselves.

It’s several scrolls down to be fair it’s been pretty poor messaging from the council
Yeah, it was a week ago now, so it’s a bit further down. Maybe something like using a mass text message could have been useful, or a notification on an app?
Would have been more useful if this article came out last week as Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday’s collections have already been collected a day early, but most households didn’t know…
I imagine that the council only thought to let ANYONE know their collection schedule had already changed, including local media, until the changes had already started. That’s my guess.
No, Craig. We can see it was announced on the 17th.
I agree, having put my food waste and my refuse out on the normal days I then find out they have collected early- since when has that been done? Not impressed.
For the first time in my memory kerbside collection came days early. I appreciate that the information was published and nobody from the council is going to knock on my door to tell me to put my recycling out days earlier than normal, but I am now stuck with a full recycling bin until 6th January. I can recycle glass and paper at my local recycling point, but most of my other recycling will be going in the general bin. None of my neighbours were aware either.
