Bin collections will be changing in Croydon over the three week festive period.

Collections between Tuesday December 25 and Friday January 11 will take place either one or two days later than the usual collection days. Extra waste produced during the change will also be collected.

A special Christmas tree collection will also take place on January 14. Just leave your tree alongside your bins.

Councillor Stuart Collins, cabinet member for clean, green Croydon, said: “We want to make Croydon the greenest borough in London but we need your help to do it.

“New bins have already been introduced across the entire borough to help boost recycling rates to more than 50% over the next two years.

“Most households will produce more waste over the festive period so please remember to recycle as much as you can.

“If you need to double check your collection day or what you can recycle you can look online.”
