Residents in Tendring are being reminded that there will be some alterations to when their rubbish is collected during the Christmas period.
There will be no collections on Christmas Day or Boxing Day, so collections from Tuesday of that week will be made two days later than usual. Residents who would usually have their rubbish collected on Friday, December 28 are instead asked to put their waste and recycling out on Monday, December 31.
The two-day delay continues into the following week as there are no collections on New Year’s Day. Those who would ordinarily have their waste collected on Friday, January 4, 2019 will have it picked up on Monday, January 7.
From Monday, January 7, all collections will be made one day later – including those on Friday, January 11, who will have their waste picked up on Saturday, January 12.
All collections return to normal from Monday, January 14, 2019.
Residents are asked to note revised opening hours for leisure centres during the Christmas period, while nine toilets around the district will be open from dawn until dusk on Christmas Day.
In the event of an emergency during the Christmas period residents can contact the council’s Control Centre on 01255 222022, which is available 24/7.
