With so much to think about over the festive period, Brighton and Hove residents will be pleased to discover, bin collections aren’t one of them.
As Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day all fall at the weekend this year, kerbside recycling and refuse collections will remain on the usual days.
Brighton & Hove City Council are reminding people to leave recycling and refuse out by 6am on the same day as usual.

If you are planning on recycling you real tree, you first need to remove all decorations and, if it has one, the pot too.
The Brighton & Hove City Council website does offer a warning though, saying: “Don't leave trees on the pavement, road or beside a communal bin. This is fly-tipping and you could be fined.”
