New Refuse and Recycling this Christmas


Collections brought forward for some


Residents’ refuse and recycling collections will change over the Christmas and New Year period.

The changes affect the period from Monday 22 December 2008 to Saturday 3 January 2009. To help the collection schedule return to normal by 5 January 2008, most collections will be brought forward in the run-up to Christmas Day.

The Council’s re-use and recycling centres will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. Normal opening hours (8.00am – 4.00pm) apply on all other days over the Christmas and New Year period. These centres are located at Stirling Road, Acton, Gordon Road, Southall and Greenford Road, Greenford. Please note that the weighbridge at the Greenford Centre closes at 3.30pm.

The Council is working hard to return collections to normal as soon as possible after Christmas as part of its driver for cleaner streets.
