Refuse Collection Dates this Festive Season!

Refuse Collection days will generally be as normal throughout Garff this festive season.

The only change will be at those properties that are normally collected on a Friday morning.
The collections in these areas that would normally fall on Friday 25th December & Friday 1st of January will be transferred to Monday 28th December & Monday 4th January respectively.
If your refuse is normally collected on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday you will experience no change to your collection days during the period so please put your bin out as normal. Although collections will remain the same on these days there may be some alteration to the timing of the collection.
