Anyone know when the bin men are due over Christmas?

Normally get a sticker on the bin saying the changes from normal collection dates but nothing this year.

Can't find owt on the council website either

 

suppose it depends what your normal day is. We aint had no sticker either, maybe they just not coming!

 

I found where it should be, but theres no link!

Doh!

 

well thats a top quality site aint it!

 

Cheers for that!

Err I think!

Normal collection is Thursday so I'm assuming it won't change and they'll collect as normal next week

 

It's normal collection if you're on Wednesday Thursday or Friday - not sure about Mondays or Tuesdays.

 

yeh

ours is wed so that day after bank holiday so im hoping as normal too. guess just put the bin out and hope for the best

 

thank for that!

 

I will try and sort it out for you...

I know a lad who works on the website at BMBC, so will chat to him and let you know when you can re-try...

 

Thanks for that

So I assume day stays the same after.

They used to shift you on a day or 2 for the next year

 

had ours emptied yesterday as normal.

 

Thought it said Christmas Eve

if your day is Monday or Tuesday and then back to normal in January.

Check last weeks Chronicle if you still have it as I think it said something in there.

 

RE: Thought it said Christmas Eve

does that mean if its monday you miss 2 weeks? that would be harsh

 

Christmas Collection Answer!! Now live

As promised, spoke to the lad on the council website, and the link to the information is now made live..

Ta

 

nicely done

 

Well done!

Is there anything that can't be sorted out with this site!

Good service this year from the council then - nobody left for 2 weeks as has happened in the past.....only problem is those who get a Tuesday collection will have it collected early before Christmas then not another til after New Year so they could have rather full bins.

 

What about monday people?

Will they be collecting on boxing day? Or dont we have monday collections anymore?</p>

 

Here you are - Christmas Collections. I've had a leaflet!

I've been and looked at my christmas collection card - I think I might hang on to it cos they are obviously a rare item - but anyway the only people affected seem to be those who have a Tuesday collection, anybody else put your bin out as normal. Tuesday people put your bin out on Sat 24 Dec and Tuesday 3 Jan.

And if your bottle collection is due 27 Dec don't put it out until 10 Jan.

So there you go - unless of course they've sent cards out the wrong info again

 

/No

Checked on the website and they only due Tues-Fri collections, probably to get around the problem of bank holidays

 

i'm impressed. People at the council using their noggin
