Christmas and New Year Bin Day Changes

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: -
