Normal collection day | Will be collected on | Which bins to put out |
Thursday 30 December | Tuesday 4 January | Grey binĀ + food waste |
Friday 31 December | Wednesday 5 January | Grey bin + food waste |
Thursday 6 January | Monday 10 January | Green bin + food waste |
Friday 7 January | Tuesday 11 January | Green bin + food waste |
Thursday 13 January | Saturday 15 January | Grey bin + food waste |
Friday 14 January | Monday 17 January | Grey bin + food waste |
Thursday 20 January | Friday 21 January | Green bin + food waste |
Friday 21 January | Saturday 22 January | Green bin + food waste |

I was struck by the view down Edward Street this new year’s eve (Green Bag is like Green Bin). For a moment I wondered whether everybody had copied each other in putting out the wrong bag on the wrong day. But then I remembered that last week there was still snow and ice about.
Edward Street must have been more dangerous or blocked than neighbouring Victoria Road and Exbourne Road. The helpline was telling enquirers that it was up to the driver’s discretion whether to collect specific streets.
