Mid Sussex District Council is reminding residents that waste, recycling and garden waste collection days will change over the Christmas and New Year period.

The waste and recycling collection changes start from Saturday 19 December and end on Saturday 9 January 2016. Bin hangers with details of collections over the festive period are being distributed in the run up to Christmas. Residents can also access personalised information about their collection day, and if they are due a blue lidded recycling collection or a grey lidded waste collection, by entering their postcode at www.midsussex.gov.uk/collectioncalendar.

The festive bin collection changes are as follows:-

There will be no garden waste collections between Monday 21 December and Sunday 2 January 2016.

Residents with a real Christmas tree can recycle it in their garden waste bin as long as the lid can be closed firmly.  Alternatively, the Council provides lots of sites where residents can drop off a tree for recycling. To see the details of dates and locations, go to www.midsussex.gov.uk/recycling. Sites are open between Thursday 31 December and Friday 14 January 2016.
