Don’t forget, the festive season is a great opportunity for recycling!

There is lots of extra waste produced that can be recycled over Christmas. The wrapping paper, extra cans and bottles from parties, card from toy packaging and Christmas cards can all be recycled, either through our kerbside recycling service or residents can also use the Lancashire County Council Household Waste Recycling Centres.

A full waste and recycling service collection calendar has been circulated to households from the beginning of December. For properties on purple sack collections the changes are detailed on the purple sacks.

Christmas trees can be put out for collection on the specific collection days in January highlighted for Christmas trees on your calendar. Christmas trees must be out for 7:30 am on this day only.
