Change dates for Christmas refuse collection in South Holland announced

Change dates for bin collections across South Holland over the Christmas period have been announced.

With the three Bank Holidays falling on weekdays this festive season, collections have been pushed back.

While most households will have their refuse collected within one or two days or their usual date, there will be a three-day wait for households whose regular collection day is a Friday, South Holland District Council has announced.
