There will be no household waste, garden and recycling collections on Monday and all collections will be one day later than usual that week. If your collection is due on Friday this will take place on Saturday. 

The Distington Hall Crematorium and its office will also be closed, but the Chapel of Remembrance will be open from 9am until 4.15pm.

Residents swap 14,500 bins of waste for recycling

Published: 20/08/2018

During the first quarter of 2017/18 (April, May and June) 4,483 tonnes of residual waste were sent for processing. In the same period this year, just 4,221 tonnes were collected. That's an impressive reduction of 262 tonnes, or 14,556 average wheelie bins full!
