As Christmas fast approaches, it is time to start thinking of how to get rid of the rubbish that accumulates over the festive period. 

Bin collections in Cheshire East are mainly the same, but the Christmas period differs slightly.  

Residents must ensure bins are out by 6.30am on bin collection days.
