Merry Christmas from Army HIVE & HIVE Christmas Closure Dates

The Army HIVE online media team are on Christmas leave after duties 20 Dec, so posts will be minimal over the next two weeks.

Emails can be sent to rc-pers-hivecomms-0mailbox@mod.gov.uk where the auto-reply will give urgent support contacts, and we will answer emails when we return on 6 Jan 25.

Army HIVE would like to wish our Service community worldwide a safe and happy Christmas and New Year, and we look forward to continuing our information delivery and welfare signposting support to our customers in 2025.

Dorset: Bin collection dates & recycling during the festive period

 

Credit: Dorsetview. 

Our collection days will return to normal from Monday 13 January.

Festive collections

We will collect up to two extra sacks of rubbish beside your bin on your first rubbish collection after Christmas Day.
No garden waste collections will take place from Christmas Day until Wednesday 8 January
household recycling centres are open from 9am to 4pm daily, except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
Extra recycling, including glass and food, will be collected on your recycling collection day, provided it has been separated correctly and placed in a suitable sturdy container (no bags) that can be easily lifted by one person. 

Please help our crews by putting your glass out for collection before Christmas.
This ensures you have as much space as possible in your glass box, helping prevent over spilling containers, and reduces the amount of extra glass we collect over the busy festive period.
