THERE will be no recycling collections for four weeks in parts of York under changes to bin collections over the festive period.
City of York Council says that the majority of collections in York, for both household waste and recycling will take place the day after their normal collection date.
However, to enable crews to take leave over the holiday season, they say there will be changes to some collection dates, as there will be staff shortages, and this will mean a month-long break between recycling collections for some households.
A council spokesperson said: "To minimise disruption as much as possible, crews will be working Saturdays to ensure household waste, for all 96,000 properties in York, continues over this period.
"The most significant changes are collections due on Christmas Day (Wednesday, December 25), with household waste brought forward to Saturday, December 21.
"The last recycling collection for these households will be Wednesday, December 11, before Christmas and then after Christmas on Wednesday, January 8.
