This year Boxing Day - a bank holiday - falls on a Tuesday. As a result, this will affect bin collections in Derby. 

Refuse collections in the city usually take place from Tuesday to Friday. 

Derby City Council has confirmed that there will be no collections during the week commencing Monday, December 25 as the cycle pauses for one week. 

Collections will resume on Tuesday, January 2. For example, a blue bin due for collection on Tuesday, December 26 will be collected on Tuesday, January 2. 

Collections will alternate as usual from January 2. All households have been informed of the changes via a tag on their bin. 

Collection information can also be found on the Derby City Council website.
