WASTE and recycling collections in Bournemouth will run as normal, except for Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, the council has confirmed.
Residents who are affected by the missed weekly rubbish or food waste collections can leave their ‘Little Bin’ and food waste container at the kerbside on the edge of their property until it is collected.
If their bin is not collected they will be able to leave two black sacks next to their bin on their next collection day.
For those who will not receive their fortnightly recycling collection, excess recycling will be taken on the next collection day, which must be put in a recycling bag or cardboard box.
Recycling bags are available from libraries from December 1 – recycling placed in black bin bags will not be collected.
Waste and recycling can be disposed of at Millhams Household Recycling Centre, which is open from 8am to 5pm over the winter period with closures on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
There will also be Christmas tree collections running from January 12 to January 23.
Residents should put their tree out for collection on their scheduled refuse collection day.
In the event of adverse weather disrupting services, residents should leave their bins out for collection as soon as conditions improve.
