Christmas wrap, cards and packaging can be recycled and put in your white sack for collection the weeks beginning December 22 (if your paper is collected on a green bin week) or December 29 (if it is collected on a blue bin week).

Christmas trees should be chopped up and placed inside green bins from Monday, January 5, or if you are not on the green bin service tied up and left with burgundy bins or lilac sacks. They can also be taken to the household waste recycling centres in Clitheroe and Longridge.

Please park your vehicles considerately, so that refuse collection wagons can access your street and manoeuvre safely.

And please respect refuse collection crews, who will be working flat out over the festive period.

Crews will be unable to return for missed collections, but will collect any excess refuse on your next collection day.
