But the Wednesday January 1 collection will now happen the following day and the Thursday January 2 collection on January 3.

The other changes will see the collection for Friday January 3 moved to the following day, the Saturday.

Normal service will then resume from January 6.

Melton Borough Council, which manages collections, say extra recycling will be collected over the Christmas period and residents are advised to leave this in a recyclable container at the side of their brown bin on collection day.

No green waste collections will be made, the council say, from December 21 to January 6.
