***Don’t forget! There will be changes to your recycling and waste collection dates this Christmas***

Residents across the county are being reminded not to get caught short on bin day this Christmas.

The reminder comes as Shropshire Council and their waste collection contractor Veolia prepare for the busy Christmas period which will see the day on which your rubbish, garden waste and recycling gets collected change across the whole county.

In particular you should note that some collections will actually take place earlier than you might expect. This is in order to accommodate the multiple bank holidays that occur over this period.

The revised collection schedule for this period is as follows: -

| **Usual Collection Day** | **Revised Collection Day** |
|---|---|
| Monday 20th December 2021 | Saturday 18th December 2021 |
| Tuesday 21st December 2021 | Monday 20th December 2021 |
| Wednesday 22nd December 2021 | Tuesday 21st December 2021 |
| Thursday 23rd December 2021 | Wednesday 22nd December 2021 |
| Friday 24th December 2021 | Thursday 23rd December 2021 |
| Monday 27th December 2021 | Friday 24th December 2021 |
