We all have more rubbish over Christmas week between the excess food waste, packaging from Santa and everything in between.
And most of our bins have been filling up quicker as we've spent more time at home, with the new work from home lifestyle.
One thing that can add for awkward silences in the household is if someone forgets to put the bins out.
With Christmas Day falling on a Saturday this year, bin dates remains the same.
All bin and box collections will take place as usual over the Christmas holidays, Belfast City Council has confirmed.
