When to put your bin out in Surrey over Christmas

Author: Local Democracy Reporter- Julie ArmstrongPublished 23rd Dec 2021

With Christmas Day and Boxing Day falling at the weekend this year, there will be substitute days off for both on Monday 27 and Tuesday 28.

That means some councils in Surrey will be operating slightly different recycling and rubbish schedules.

The Local Democracy Reporting Service has compiled a list of all the collection dates this December and January so you can dispose of all that wrapping paper in time.
