Bin hangers with details of collection changes over the festive period are being hung onto the handle of wheelie bins and flyers are available to download from the Council website.

There will be no garden waste collections between Monday 26 December and Friday 6 January, the last collection being Friday 23 December. Garden waste collections will return to normal from Monday 9 January 2023.

Householders with a real Christmas tree can recycle it in their garden waste bin if the lid can be closed.  Alternatively, there will be temporary sites where residents can drop off real Christmas trees for recycling. These sites will be open between Friday 30 December 2022 and Friday 13 January 2023 (inclusive) and locations can be found at www.midsussex.gov.uk/treerecycling.
