City Clean: Christmas recycling and refuse collections

Collection days are not changing this Christmas, so please put out your recycling and refuse on your usual day.

The council will be collecting on all weekdays over Christmas and New Year, including Monday 26 December, Tuesday 27 December and Monday 2 January.

If you need to check your collection day, you can find the information online – visit www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/cityclean and put in your postcode. If you have fortnightly recycling collections, you can also download your collection calendar.

If we miss you, leave your collection out and we’ll pick it up as soon as we can.

Recycling
Plastic bottles can go straight into your recycling box or bin, but remember to give them a quick rinse and remove any plastic tops or lids.

Drinks cans, food tins and glass bottles and jars can also go in your recycling box or bin along with egg boxes, cardboard sleeves for food packaging and all tin biscuit boxes. Remember to keep your glass in a separate recycling box or bag so it doesn’t contaminate the other materials.

Please only recycle wrapping paper – foil or paper and cards covered in glitter can’t be recycled.

Flatten any cardboard boxes and paper bags to make space in your recycling bins and boxes. You can also visit a community recycling point or one of the city’s two recycling centres.

Christmas trees
Christmas tree recycling sites across the city will be open between 2 January and 14 January 2017. To find your nearest site, go to www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/christmas-tree-recycling.
