Eden area collection times
Collections times in Eden are:
- 7am for garden and recycling waste collections
- 6am for household waste collections
Place no more than three garden waste bins on the kerb or collection point. We will only collect up to a maximum of 5 bags of side waste.
We will leave the same number of replacement bags as those set out for collection up to a maximum of 2.
Properties in Penrith receive a 6 monthly allocation of blue bags in February and August rather than weekly, eliminating the need for blue bags to be delivered on each collection.
If your refuse contains hot ashes, you can put them in a dustbin. The dustbin must be made of steel and have two handles. Set the dustbin on the kerb or collection point by 6am on collection days.
South Lakeland area collection times
All collections are between 7am to 3pm.
