Recycling and refuse collections for Newtown householders and the council’s trade waste customers will be later than usual during Christmas and the New Year, the county council has said.

Collections due on Christmas Eve (Tuesday, 24 December) and New Year’s Eve (Tuesday, 31 December) will take place as usual, otherwise, remember to put out your bins on the following days:

"With collections scheduled throughout the festive period, we are encouraging households to make use of the service and reduce, reuse and recycle as much of their household waste as possible," said a council spokesperson.
Adrian Jervis, Head of Highways, Transport and Recycling, said: “We have heard in good faith that the busiest man at this time of year, Father Christmas, is doing his bit to recycle this Christmas, so we’re hoping that households will follow suit to recycle as much as possible this festive period.”
“Not only will recycling as much of your Christmas waste as possible ensure that you don’t run out of space in your wheelie bins or purple sacks, it also reduces the amount of rubbish we are all sending to landfill.”
