Collections on all other days will remain the same.

Normal collection days will resume on Sunday 5 January 2020. Please ensure your bins and food caddies are out on the kerbside by 7am on the relevant collection day.

Councillor Billy Hendry, Convener of the Council?s Place, Neighbourhood &

Corporate Assets Committee, said, “With so much going on over the festive

period it’s easy to forget to put your bins out, particularly when

collections are changed. I?d urge people to check the amended collection

days.

“At this time of year there is also often more waste from the packaging of

food and gifts. Our residents are fantastic at recycling and we want to

help everyone recycle more and better this year.

“I would encourage everyone to try and recycle as much as possible, either

through the kerbside collection scheme or at any of the Council?s recycling

sites throughout the area.”
