Christmas bin collection dates 2024/25

Residents of Elmbridge, Mole Valley, Surrey Heath and Woking can expect temporary changes to their bin collections between 25 December – 11 January 2025. Some bin collections are due to take place on bank holidays when crews are not working, collection dates will change during this period so that crews can visit all properties and ensure everyone gets a regular bin collection. Residents will need to present their bins on a different day than usual, please present your bin(s) at the edge of your property by 6:00am on your new collection day.

Please see below to check your revised collection dates.

After this date, collections will return back to normal and bins should be presented on your usual collection day.

Garden waste subscribers can recycle their real Christmas trees in their kerbside collection. We kindly ask you remove all decorations and lights, chop it up into smaller pieces and place in your garden waste bin. Trees can also be taken to your local community recycling centre (CRC).

Previously, residents were informed of date changes over the festive period via printed guides to recycling and waste that were sent to all households. However, this year guides are not being sent to all households to reduce the environmental impact of printing guides and to save costs that can be better spent on essential services. Guides will be available to download and print from your local council website soon and a small stock of printed guides will be available to pick up from council offices from the end of January 2025.

Residents can stay up to date with the latest news regarding their bin collections by checking the service update page on the Joint Waste Solutions (JWS) website and by following JWS on X.
