When to put your bins out this Christmas

Published: 15 December 2023

Most domestic bin collections in Worcester will run as normal over Christmas, with just one change of date for those who live in certain areas of the city.

Green or black bin collections due on Boxing Day (Tuesday 26 December) will be collected on Saturday 30 December. This affects homes in the Cathedral, Nunnery, St Peter's and Battenhall wards.

All other dates for domestic bin collection will remain the same.

Extra crews will be working on Saturday 30 December and bagged side waste will be collected where necessary.

Bin collections will be back to normal from 2 January.

Full details of Christmas and New Year bin collections.

Please remember to make sure your bins are placed out by 7am on your day of collection.

Remember: you can put large cardboard boxes, Christmas cards (except glitter ones) and wrapping paper (excluding foil or glittery paper) in your green bin. Tin foil and tinsel need to go in the black bin.

There will be no bulky waste collections on Tuesday 26 December, Thursday 28 December, Tuesday 2 January and Thursday 4 January. These will start again on Tuesday 10 January, 2024. Book a bulky waste collection.

The following week, commercial non-recyclable waste collections for Monday 1 January will take place on Tuesday 2 January. Commercial recycling waste collections for Monday 1 January will take place on Wednesday 3 January.
