Bin collections in Caerphilly County Borough will be disrupted over the Christmas and New Year period.

Many residents will have new collection days over the next two weeks, before normal collection rounds resume in the week beginning Monday January 8.

There will be no collections for four days, from Saturday December 23 up to, and including, Tuesday December 26.

Collections in the week beginning Monday December 25 will be carried out two days later.

This includes a service on Sunday December 31 for people who would normally have their bins collected on Friday.

There will be no collection on New Year’s Day, and for the rest of that week, collections will be made one day later than the usual collection day.

Normal collections will resume on January 8.

Council-run tips (household recycling centres) will be open as normal, except for Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.

On Christmas Eve tips will close at 2.30pm.
