CHANGES will be made to the bin collection schedule in Uttlesford over the festive season.
There will be no bin collections on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year's Day.
During Christmas week, regular Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday collections (December 23, 24, and 25) will all take place one day earlier.
Therefore, Tuesday's collections will now be made on Monday, Wednesday collections will move to Tuesday, and Thursday's collections will be picked up on Wednesday.
The regular Friday collection will be made on a Monday in the following week, on December 29.
Christmas week collections will be for general waste bins and food caddies only.
During this week, households can leave up to four extra black bags with their bins.
The following week, Tuesday and Wednesday's collections (December 30 and 31) remain unchanged.
However, Thursday's and Friday's collections (January 1 and 2) will be taken a day later, shifting to Friday and Saturday.
