With the festive season upon us, Ealing Council is reminding residents that as with previous years, there will be changes to the dates for rubbish and recycling collections over the Christmas and new year festive season.
It is asking residents across the borough to be aware of the dates being changed and to visit its website for more details on the amended schedule that will be taking place by its in-house Greener Ealing service.
In an announcement, Ealing Council said: “These changes are because of the bank holidays taking place over the festive period. Local people and businesses are encouraged to check their revised schedule to ensure that their bins are collected as part of the regular service.”
Details of the revised dates for Ealing Council collection of rubbish and recycling can be found on its website.
The council says dates for rubbish and recycling services will return to normal from 16 January 2022.
The council will also be collecting Christmas trees to be recycled and has provided guidance to residents on the process. The service only applies to real tress and not artificial ones.
It said: “You can also recycle your Christmas tree in a quick, easy and environmentally friendly way, by leaving it out as part of your kerbside rubbish and recycling collections, or by dropping it off at a local park or reuse and recycle centre.”
Ealing Council added: “Until 29 January 2023, you can leave your tree on the front edge of your property, to have it taken away for recycling. Trees will be collected on the same day as your refuse collection (black bin) each alternate week. Tree trunks must not exceed 20cm in diameter or be more than six feet tall (taller trees can be cut in two) and please ensure all decorations are removed.”
