Collection Schedule

Dear Customers,

Please see our Christmas and New Year Collection schedule 2025/26 below.

There are only 3 working days in the Christmas week this year to get 5 days’ worth of collections done, and 4 working days in the New Year week to get 5 days’ worth of collections done; therefore, it is our intention to have all collections during this two week period done within a 48-hour window of the regular service day. In practice this means collections can either be brought forward or put back by up to 48 Hours.

In addition, given the reduced access to disposal sites during the Christmas and New Year period, there will be no availability for any extra collections to be done during this period; any extra collections will have to be booked for the first full week of the New Year, W/C 05/01/2026.

Christmas Week: All customer collections will take place on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. Please ensure your bins are accessible on all three days until they have been emptied.

New Year Week: All customer collections will take place on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday. Please ensure your bins are accessible on all four days until they have been emptied.

PLEASE NOTE: All additional collections required for the week before Christmas and the New Year week must be emailed to recyclenow@maxrecycle.com by Thursday 11th December 4pm.

The office will be open during the holidays at limited hours for urgent enquiries only, no additional services can be booked during this period.

For customers that have 2 or more collections scheduled during Christmas week, our staff have been instructed to carry out double uplifts on your revised collection days; however, can these customers please ensure that any extra waste that cannot be put into the bin be securely bagged and placed to the side of the bin, not in front or on top, so that access isn’t blocked and enabling our staff to carry out your service as safely and efficiently as possible.

It is our intention to have all collections caught up and back to normal by Monday 05/01/2026.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
