Christmas & New Year Services

Southend Labour wishes all residents a happy Christmas and hopes for a better 2022 for all of us

Services over the Christmas & New Year period

Rubbish & recycling – no change to collection days. Veolia staff are working on bank holiday Tuesday (many thanks to them for doing that). Christmas trees (real ones, not artificial) can be recycled and will be collected free of charge between Tuesday 4th February to Friday 14th February. See https://www.southend.gov.uk/council-8/christmas-opening-times/3 for more details.
