Residents living in the former Ballymoney Borough Council area are advised that week commencing Monday 19th December they should set out their black bin for collection.

Week commencing Monday 26th December the blue bin should be set out for collection.

The black bin and blue bin will be collected in this sequence going forward for all households in the Ballymoney area.

Until recently approximately half of all households in the Ballymoney area got their black bin collected and the other half got their blue bin collected in any given week.

A change was introduced this week which saw all households in the area get their blue bin emptied.

Next week all households will receive a black bin collection.

Households which have seen their sequence of bin collections changed will have had a sticker applied to their black bin advising them of this in advance.
