Christmas changes to bin collections in Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire
Collection days are changing due to the extended bank holidays.
Residents in Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire are being urged to check their bin collection dates this festive season as the regular collection days are changing due to the extended bank holidays.
Cllr Mark Howell, South Cambridgeshire District Council’s cabinet member for environmental services, said: “People should be aware that bin collection days move over Christmas. We’ve issued bin cards to households that have their bins emptied on Mondays to advise them of the Boxing Day collection being moved forward. If you are still unsure, please check our website.
“I hope everyone does their bit to recycle even more during the festive period using their household blue and green bins and local recycling centres.”
