Recycling and refuse collections over the holiday period

Somerset Council have told us that for there will be no collections on Christmas Day or Boxing Day. As a result, recycling and refuse collections next week will be two days later than normal. So, for example, collections will be made on Sunday 31st December instead of Friday 29th.

There will also be no collections on New Year’s Day, so collections that week will be one day later, e.g. Saturday 6th January instead of Friday 5th.

Garden waste collections will stop on Monday 25 December for a fortnight and will resume on Monday 8 January.

Recycling Centres will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, but otherwise will be open as usual.
