Deck the halls - but don't forget to recycle
Swindon Christmas waste collection times + recyling info
And don't forget - 12th night this year is Saturday 05 January, so make sure your tree and all the decorations are down by then.
What can be recycled
- christmas cards
- cardboard
- old clothes (please put them in a bag and place it in your recycling box)
- Christmas trees
- glass bottles and jars
- plastic Bottles
- large plastic sweet tubs
- the casing around the Christmas pudding
- the plastic tray that once held the turkey
- plastic wrapping from around gifts

And what
can't be recycled
crumple a piece in your hand and if it crumples it’s foil, and can go into the box. If it expands again, it has plastic in it and has to go in your general waste.
General Waste Collections
There will be no wheelie bin, blue bag or recycle box collections on Wednesday 26th and Thursday 27th December. If your wheelie bin collection day would have fallen on either day, please see the Council website via the link below to find out when your collection will now be made.
Christmas Trees
If you've bought a real Christmas tree, you'll probably be glad to have it out of the house by 12th night. Those pine needles can get everywhere!
Simply wrap one of the Council's green waste bags around the base and put it out with your wheelie bin. It will be collected on your bi-weekly general waste day.
