Christmas Rubbish and Recycling Collections
There will be some changes to rubbish, recycling and garden waste collections over the
Christmas period and also a change to real Christmas Tree collections.

Collections
– No collections will take place on Boxing Day, Monday 26 December 2022.
– Recycling or garden waste due to be collected on Boxing Day will be collected on
Saturday 31 December 2022.
– Rubbish due to be collected on Boxing Day will be collected on Monday 2 January 2023.
– All other collections will remain as normal, including collections on the bank holidays of
Tuesday 27 December 2022 and Monday 2 January 2023.

Real Christmas Trees
This year, in line with most other local authorities, we will only collect real Christmas trees
from households that are subscribed to our Garden Waste Collection Service, and the trees
will only be collected from the boundary of those homes. It is important that trees are not
placed out in public areas for collection, as these will not be collected.
This information has been provided to every household in Cornwall via our annual service
leaflet, which is currently being delivered across the county.
