The usual days for bin collecting change over the festive period

Wondering about when to put your bin out over Christmas? Look no further.

The Gazette has all the dates you need to know about for when bins will be collected in December and January. When Christmas comes around, the usual bin collection timetable changes.

Blue-lidded bins usually collected on Monday, 26 December (Boxing Day) will be picked up on Christmas Eve (Saturday, December 24). As a Christmas Day substitute, bins emptied on Tuesday, December 27 will be collected the day after. This is the same for all bue-lidded bins for the rest of the week.
