Take the Great Cable Challenge on 14 October
Monday 14 October is International E-Waste Day and the theme this year is the Great Cable Challenge - encouraging all of us to recycle those out of date or broken cables we've got lying around the home.
Almost all of us have unwanted, broken cables clogging up our drawers, or have considered binning that flimsy cable when it broke. That’s thousands of kilograms of precious copper going to waste, that could be recycled into anything from lifesaving hospital equipment to electric vehicles.
Cables contain copper which is one of the most precious materials on our planet and essential to our everyday lives. We use copper in our phones, transport, clean energy, lifesaving equipment and the green technology revolution.
So, ahead of International E-Waste Day on 14 October why not grab all your old unwanted and broken wires and take them to the Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) or a shop which sells electrical goods so they can be recycled?
Bin calendars for October 2024 to September 2025 are now available to download here
From
Tuesday 1 October 2024, household glass collections will double from every four
weeks to fortnightly. The new calendars include these additional collections.
Collection changes over Christmas

Refuse, recycling and glass collections will change over the Christmas and New Year period. These are marked in orange on your calendar.
There are no other changes to collections for bank holidays.
The Christmas and New Year dates shown in your calendar may be subject to change. If this happens we will send another bulletin.
Garden waste collections will be suspended from Monday 23 December 2024 to Friday 3 January 2025 with normal collections resuming on Monday 6 January. We will take real Christmas trees on the first collection of the new year.
