Pesach collection service 2025

Skip to:

We are providing a dedicated Pesach collection service to the Jewish community. Please note collection arrangements are different from last year.

This additional refuse service will be in operation at houses on over 300 pre-designated roads, making it simple for residents to dispose of Pesach refuse and Chometz before Passover.

Check to see if you live on a pre-designated road

Tips to manage your Pesach waste

  • Your normal refuse bin collection will take place on your scheduled collection day. Collections may take place at a different time of day than usual.
  • Chometz that is not presented as set out above will not be collected.
  • Please do not overfill refuse bins or sacks, as it may not be possible to collect these containers.
  • Please put food waste in your black refuse bin or sacks, or consider donating any Chometz that is not opened to a local food charity. Food waste cannot go into the blue recycling bin or green garden waste bin.
