Service update: Monday 13 September 2021. We have extended the opening hours of the Barleylands Recycling Centre from 8am to 5.30pm extended to 6pm on Saturday and Sunday to allow residents access to the facilities until collection issues are resolved.

From the week commencing Monday 13 September all pink sack recycling collections will resume. Residents are advised to leave pinks sacks out as usual. Please note there will be no glass collections in all areas of the borough for the whole week. We will be sending out street cleaning teams to areas to tidy up where needed. Glass can be taken to the Barleylands Recycling Centre and local recycling sites across the borough. We apologise for the difficulties we are experiencing.
