Bin collections will not need to be changed over the festive period across Lichfield and Burntwood, council chiefs have said.
Calendars are being distributed online to inform households of dates over the festive period and during 2022.
Cllr Ashley Yeates, cabinet member for climate change and recycling, said the festive period would not see collections needing to be changed.
“As Christmas and New Year both fall on a weekend this year, our residents can put out their bins on their normal bin days over the festive period.
“We’ve taken the decision to only publish bin calendars online, as there are no changes to communicate for the festive period and we may need to tweak some bin rounds as we move to dual-stream recycling in the spring of next year.
“It will be much simpler to keep the calendars up to date online, and there is substantial environmental benefit from not printing and distributing calendars to around 80,000 households.
“We are working hard on our plans for how to introduce the blue reusable bags for paper and card recycling, which will include a multi-channel communications campaign to ensure households are fully informed about how the system will work and what it will mean to them.”
