There will be a number of changes to bin collections across the borough over the Christmas and New Year period.

Over the festive period, bin collection dates will temporarily change which will make it easier for the council’s waste and recycling collectors to enjoy the festive season.

With the colder weather approaching and fewer people gardening, green bin collections will stop on Monday, December 18 and start again on Monday, January 8.
