Waste collections during the holiday season

Your weekly waste collection will continue without interruption over the upcoming Christmas and New Year period. Your garbage, recycle and FOGO bins will be collected as usual according to your waste calendar.

We know that households often produce more garbage and recycling during the festive season. Please remember that materials must be placed inside your bins and that overflowing bins will not be collected.

If you need to dispose of excess garbage and recycling, you can find your local transfer stations (tips) and recycling centres.
