CHANGES to the rubbish collections in Bromsgrove over the Christmas period have been announced by Bromsgrove District Council.

Collection times will all be put back by two days after Christmas and a further two days after New Year.

So, if your bins are emptied on a Monday, the collection will be as normal on Monday December 18, but the following collection will be on Wednesday December 27, and then Friday January 5.

Tuesday and Wednesday collection days will also be affected. But, bins which are due to be emptied on Thursdays and Fridays will not be emptied between Christmas and New Year. Thursday collections will be on December 21 and Wednesday January 3, and the Friday collections will be on December 22 and Thursday January 4.
