CHRISTMAS recycling advice has been dished out by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council (BDBC).

As Christmas can mean extra rubbish, for example wrapping paper which cannot be recycled, extra sacks will be collected in the first collection Christmas and, as normal, there will be no limit on how much residents can recycle.

This year, unless adverse weather affects bin rounds, collections should return to normal from Monday, 15 January, 2018.

To check the day your bin is collected www.basingstoke.
