South Gloucestershire Council
Waste and recycling
From Monday 25th December 2023 until Friday 12th January 2024, your normal collection days will change.
For details, see: Changes to collections over Christmas and New Year
From Monday 15th January 2024 collections will be back to normal.
The Sort It recycling centre at Little Stoke will be closed Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. The site will close at 2pm on Christmas Eve. On all other days, the site will be open as normal.
Recycling tips
How to recycle your real Christmas tree (SGC)
Wrapping paper and cards without glitter, foil or plastic can be recycled. Use the scrunch test for wrapping paper – if it stays crunched, recycle it. If it springs back, reuse it or put it in the black bin.
Recycle brown paper from parcels with cardboard. Put extra card in a cardboard box (no larger than your recycling box). Take very large carboard boxes to a Sort It recycling centre.
There is a collection point for soft plastic and plastic film at the Tesco Extra store in Bradley Stoke. See: Tesco Extra store leads the way on soft plastic recycling.
Stoke Gifford Parish Council
The parish council office at the Community Hall, Little Stoke Park, will be closed from Saturday 23rd December 2023 until Tuesday 2nd January 2024.
The car park at Little Stoke Park will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. It will close at the earlier than usual time of 4pm on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.
Healthcare services
Information on health services over the Christmas and New Year holiday period – including emergency pharmacies, out-of-hours GP services, minor injuries units & walk-in centres and the NHS 111 advice line – from NHS Bristol, North Somerset & South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (BNSSG ICB):
NHS 111 can help if you have an urgent medical problem and you’re not sure what to do.
Call NHS 111 first before going to your local A&E department, unless it is a life-threatening emergency when you should call 999.
Pharmacies
Many local pharmacies will have different opening hours over Christmas and New Year.
