Once again, there will be no rubbish collection on Christmas Day (Thursday 25th December), Boxing Day (Friday 26th December) and New Year’s Day (Thursday 1st January).

This will impact collection dates across the region from December 25 to January 16, with most residents seeing their rubbish collected on a different day to normal over this period.

The schedule will go back to normal from January 19.

The three reuse and recycling centres in Bristol will be closed on Christmas Day (December 25), Boxing Day (December 26) and New Years Day (January 1).
