RUBBISH collections will be collected a day later over Christmas week.
Blue bags that would normally be picked up on Monday – Boxing Day – will be taken away on Tuesday, with the same pattern repeated during the week.
The Friday, December 30 collection will be picked up on New Year’s Eve.
From 2017, refuse collectors will work on all bank holidays except Christmas Day and Boxing Day. This means that residents who normally have their blue bags collected on Mondays will need to make a New Year’s resolution to put waste out on Bank Holiday Monday, January 2, as normal.
The council warns that waste should be placed outside the night before as collections start earlier than normal.
