Wrexham Council urges residents to check bin collection Day over Christmas

Wrexham Council is urging residents to check their bin collection day in the run up to Christmas.

Over the festive period some households in Wrexham will see changes to their regular collection dates.

For the week commencing December 18, every household in Wrexham will have a general waste collection (black/blue bin) alongside recycling and food waste.

However for the week commencing December 25, no households in Wrexham will have a general waste collection (black/blue bin) or garden waste collection (green bin) .

Wrexham Council will only be collecting recycling and food waste from properties on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

As usual no collections will take place on Monday, December 25 and Tuesday, December 26.

Affected residents will be able to leave extra recycling out the following week as described below.

For the week commencing January 1, every household in Wrexham will have a general waste collection (black/blue bin) alongside recycling and food waste.

No collections will take place on Monday, January 1, so for this week all bin collections will be a day later (you can check your bin day for the revised dates).

If your recycling boxes get full, you can leave any extra recyclables in solid containers next to your other recycling on your collection day and we’ll recycle the materials (leaving the containers behind for you to reuse again).

Households who have extra recycling are asked to separate the materials as you usually would.

Clean, flattened cardboard left by recycling containers will also be collected, as long as it is no larger in height or width than a standard issue blue sack.

You can check your bin day here. You won’t need to sign in to check your bin day, and you can check for friends, family members and neighbours by simply typing in their postcode or street.

You can also stay up to date is by signing up to receive bin reminder emails. If you do this, you’ll get an email to remind you to put your bins out the day before your collection is due.
