BRIGG BINS CHANGE IN NEW YEAR

Temporary, one-off alterations will be made to Brigg's bin collection during the first week of 2011.
We aren't due a fortnightly black/green general waste collection on bank holiday Tuesday, January 4. However, that day's scheduled collection of brown organic waste bins and mauve plastic/carboard bins will take place a day later on Wednesday January 5.
This is due to North Lincolnshire Council's arrangements for collecting bins throughout the district, some of which (not in Brigg) will be done on Saturday, January 8, to make up for non-collection on Monday, January 3.

Here's the full explanation issued by North Lincolnshire Council, if you wish to study it in further detail:

Christmas and New Year bin collections dates have changed this year.
Week commencing 27 December there will be a full collection service. This includes the bank holidays of Monday and Tuesday.
However, in the week following, there will be no collections on Monday 3 January.
On this occasion, collection days for wheeled bin and kerbside recycling boxes will move forward a day.
For example, if your collection falls on Monday 3 January, your collection that week will move to Tuesday 4 January, Tuesday collections will move to Wednesday and so on through to Friday collections which move to Saturday.
Brown bin collections have been temporarily suspended over the Christmas period and will start again from Tuesday 4 January.
Burgundy bins will continue to be collected but please check your calendar for collection dates.
To make sure you don’t forget your bins this Christmas check your collection calendar for your collection dates.
If you don’t have a collection calendar check your collection dates online at www.northlincs.gov.uk or request a collection calendar from our Customer Helpline on 01724 297000 or email wastemanagement@northlincs.gov.uk.
From now until the end of February, winter opening times are in effect at all eight Household Recycling Centres across North Lincolnshire.
The site at Cottage Beck Road in Scunthorpe is open 8am to 4pm seven days a week. Other sites are open from 10am to 4pm, Friday to Tuesday.
All eight sites will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
Coun Len Foster, cabinet member for Neighbourhood, Environmental and Communities, said: “We will be collecting your bins and recycling boxes on the Christmas bank holidays this year but not on the New Year bank holiday, 3 January. If you’re not sure about when to put out your bins please feel free to call our customer helpline on 01724 297000 or email wastemangement@northlincs.gov.uk.”
