You can now view, download or print your 2021 refuse and recycling calendars.

All the information is available at https://www.carlisle.gov.uk/residents/bins-and-recycling/rubbish-collections

The online information also includes information on how to recycle and dispose of our waste responsibly.

Normal collection days will remain the same in 2021 other than any necessary variations for Bank Holidays.

The online versions of the calendars are a new eco-friendly approach and mean that no printed calendars will be sent direct to households. The new approach also prevents any future confusion over possible date changes that occur after the calendars have distributed.

Through the coronavirus pandemic we had to make some necessary changes to some of our collection dates. This meant that the calendars that we had previously distributed several months earlier were out of date and we advised residents to check their collection dates on our website.

By making the calendars accessible online, residents can be sure that they are viewing the most current information.

Please check our website if you are unsure when your refuse and recycling is collected, as there may be a few changes to your normal collection days over the festive period.

Anyone unable to check their collection dates online can contact our customer services team by calling 01228 817200 during normal office hours.
