A COUNCIL is ‘relaxing’ its bin policy and will collect extra bags of waste this Christmas.
Burnley Council is reminding people to recycle all the cans, bottles, paper, cards and even their real Christmas trees once all the festivities are over.
Normally, the council does not collect any excess waste left outside a wheelie bin.
However, between December 26 and January 12, the council will collect extra bags of rubbish that will not fit in your wheelie bin.
After that the council will return to its pro-recycling policy of not collecting any waste left outside your wheelie bin.
All items must be put out for collection from 6.30am as usual.
Otherwise collections will remain the same over Christmas and New Year.
