Households in west Suffolk have received a leaflet advising them of the days their bins will be collected over Christmas.

There will be no collection on Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year’s Day and the council says residents of Forest Heath and St Edmundsbury can check their bin day online.

With one exception, bins will be emptied one day later than usual and collections will return to normal from Monday, January 8.

Households whose collection falls on Christmas Day will need to put their bins out two days earlier – on Saturday, December 23.

The following Monday – New Year’s Day – bins will be emptied one day later on Tuesday, January 2.

Bin collection days, and the leaflet, can be viewed online at www.maps.westsuffolk.gov.uk/
