Information to East Devon District Council's seasonal changes to recycling and waste collections is available at http://eastdevon.gov.uk/recycling-and-rubbish/christmas-collections-2017/
Householders can also find out about their collections by putting their postcode in to the ‘when is my bin collected’ area on the website.
The council also has a really useful smart phone app which will send reminders about recycling and waste collection days tailored to your own address. The East Devon mobile app is free and is available to download for iphone users from the Apple App Store and for Android smart phone users from the Google Play Store.
East Devon residents can recycle Christmas wrapping paper this year, as they have been able to in previous years. However, as is normal practice, shiny, metallic, plastic or glittered wrapping paper cannot be accepted by EDDC's recycling mill.
