THERE will be changes to some waste collection dates over the festive period.

The changes only affect households with collections due on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.

The revised collection day will be the weekend before, and residents are advised to put their bin out before 6.30am.

For those whose waste would normally be collected on Monday, December 25, the new date will be Saturday, December 23. For those expecting their waste to be collected on Tuesday, December 26, the revised date will be Sunday, December 24.

And for those whose collection day would be Monday, January 1, the new date will be Saturday, December 30.

Household Recycling Centres across Herefordshire will be open as usual throughout the festive period (except for Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day) where real Christmas trees can be composted with garden waste.
