Council chiefs have defended their festive recycling schedules.
In response to criticism about better collections encouraging recycling, Bury Council say residents must also take some responsibility for their rubbish. Borough Operational Services Officer, Mike Savage said, "Within any scheme dealing with so many properties there are occasions when things do get missed. The council did everything possible to ensure residents knew when their collections were to be."
