Christmas 2015 Waste Collections

Nov 112015

Here are some details from NKDC about waste & recycling collections over the Christmas period.

Christmas collections

There will be changes to collection days for everyone this Christmas. The changes were included on the annual collection calendars and will be publicised through NewsNK as normal but we would also appreciate any opportunity you may have to circulate information so as to remind residents of the amended days.

As Christmas Day falls on a Friday this year the collections will be as follows:

Normal collection day	COLLECTION CHANGED TO
Monday 21^st December	Saturday 19^th December
Tuesday 22^nd December	Monday 21^st December
Wednesday 23^rd December	Tuesday 22^nd December
Thursday 24^th December	Wednesday 23^rd December
Friday 25^th December	Thursday 24^th December
Monday 28^th December	No change working as normal
Tuesday 29^th December	No change
Wednesday 30^th December	No change
Thursday 31^st December	No change
Friday 1^st January	Saturday 2^nd January

We would also like to inform you of two other issues in case you receive any queries from your residents or are able to publicise them:

1. Collection of side waste for Christmas 2015

The Council acknowledges that residents will have more waste over the Christmas period and will therefore, collect side waste on the first collection after Christmas of both the black and green lidded wheeled bins.

2. Paid Garden waste service

Garden waste customers are reminded that during the months of December and January the garden waste service will drop to a 4-weekly collection. Customers are asked to refer to their collection calendar that was posted to them on joining the service. Alternatively please visit: www.n-kesteven.gov.uk/residents/waste-recycling-and-your-environment/find-my-bin-collection-day/ on the Council’s website or ring a member of our customer services team on 01529 414155 for help.
