Delays due to bad weather
Because of cold weather over the weekend and snow overnight, some bin collections could not take place today. Our highways winter gritting team is helping in the affected areas so collections can resume.
If your bin was not collected, please put it out by 7am tomorrow. We will return as soon as possible and will prioritise these collections.
Thank you for your understanding.
What to do with your Christmas tree
Once you have taken your Christmas tree down you can recycle it by putting it in your green bin. Just chop it into small pieces, remove the wooden block from the base of the tree as this is too big to be composted, and take off any lights and decorations.
Alternatively, you can take it to Arkwright Street Household Waste and Recycling Centre, along with any extra Christmas waste you may have, or leave it at one of our collection points in the following parks (from December 28 to January 7):
- Higher Memorial Park (car park), Joseph Street, Failsworth (open 7.30am until dusk)
- Royton Park (car park) off Bleasdale Street, Royton. (open 7.30am until dusk)
- Werneth Park (car park) off Frederick Street, Werneth (open 7.30am until dusk)
- Churchill Playing Fields (car park), Wellington Road, Greenfield. Anytime access.
- George Street Playing Fields (car park), off Milnrow Road, Shaw. Anytime access.
