Some residents will have their bins collected on different days over the festive period. Those affected will receive a postcard with details.
Collections due on Monday, 25 December will take place the following Friday (29 December). Those due on Tuesday, 26 December will be done the following Saturday (30 December).
Collections scheduled for Monday, 1 January will be done on Friday, 5 January and those due on Tuesday, 2 January will take place on Saturday, 6 January.
If for any reason the council is unable to collect bins on any of these days, additional bags of waste or boxes of recycling left beside the bin will also be lifted on the date of your next scheduled collection for that material.
