Bin collection days over Christmas

Oldham Council

Some bin collection dates will change over the Christmas period.

This year there will be no bin collections on Christmas Day (Monday, 25 December).

Instead put out the bin that would have been due to be collected on that day - plus the green bin/food caddy - on Saturday 30 December.

There will also be no bin collections on Boxing Day (Tuesday, 26 December) -  there will be an earlier collection on Saturday 23 December. Remember to also put out the green bin/food caddy.

There will be no bin collections on Monday, 1 January (New Year’s Day) - put out the bin that would have been due on this date, plus the green bin/food caddy, on Saturday 6 January.

The green bin/food caddy will also be collected as normal on Monday 8 January.

Councillor Barbara Brownridge, Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods and Co-operatives, said: “Due to the way Christmas falls this year we have had to make a few changes to bin collection dates, so we’ve tried to make it as easy as possible.

“Over the coming weeks we will be delivering leaflets to households in the areas affected.

“Please take the time to familiarise yourself with the arrangements so you know when to put your bins out for collection.”
