Bin collections to return to normal in North Solihull

RUBBISH collections are set to return to normal this month following changes to collections over the Christmas period.

There were no collections on New Year's Day, with any remaining waste not removed then set to be collected next Friday (January 8). Replacement collections have also been organised for those who missed out as a result of Christmas Day or the Boxing Day Bank Holiday (December 28).

Solihull Council has reminded residents that it will be taking away any extra rubbish that has built up during the Christmas period up until the end of the week. This should be placed in bin bags, tied up and left next to your wheelie bin or purple sack.

The local authority will also be collecting real Christmas trees up until January 15. All decorations and pots should be removed and if the tree is over 6ft it should be broken in half.
