To give our crews a well-deserved break, the regular waste collection dates in Wokingham Borough will be adjusted temporarily over the Christmas and New Year period. Residents are urged to check the revised collection schedule, before putting out their waste during this time.

All rubbish and recycling collections, including garden waste, from 25 December 2023 to 12 January 2024 will change to the revised schedule, as our crews will be taking the day off on Christmas Day (Monday 25 December), Boxing Day (Tuesday 26 December) and New Year's Day (Monday 1 January).

Also, our crews will be working on three Saturdays (30 December, 6 January and 13 January), and having an earlier start at 5.30am. Residents are advised to put out their waste the night before to avoid being missed.
