There may be a little tweaking before Christmas 

 

The bin collection schedule will change in Uttlesford over the festive season.

 

Collections will be as normal in the week before Christmas - which is a green-lidded recycling bin and brown food waste caddy collection week.

 

There will be no collections on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.

 

The Tuesday, December 24 and Wednesday, December 25 collections will be a day later than usual - so the usual Thursday collections will move to the Friday and the usual Friday collections will move to the Saturday.

 

Collections during Christmas week will be for the general waste bin and food caddy.

 

During New Year week, the Tuesday, December 31 collections will stay the same. However the Wednesday, January 1, Thursday, January 2 and Friday, January 3 collections will move one day later - so the usual Wednesday collections will move to the Thursday, the usual Thursday collections to the Friday and the Friday collections to Saturday 

 

Collections in New Year week will be for the green-lidded recycling bin and food caddy. 

 

Additional recycling can be placed at the side of the bins for collection, in white or clear bags or cardboard boxes.

 

Collections will go back to the normal schedule from Tuesday, January 7
