Bins due to be lifted on Monday will now be lifted earlier on Christmas Eve on Saturday, December 24.
Meanwhile, there are also minor changes to opening hours for recycling centres, leisure services and visitors services.
Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Councillor Sandra Duffy, urged the public to check the council website before accessing services during the holiday period.
“In order to accommodate staff holidays we have made a number of tweaks to Council services over Christmas,” she explained.
“The majority of services are unaffected however to allow collection teams to have Boxing Day off, blue and brown bin collections will take place on Christmas Eve.
“This can be a busy period at Recycling Centres and we are grateful to the staff who will work through the holidays to make sure their opening hours are largely unaffected.”
Meanwhile, recycling centres will be open Christmas Eve, with Derry sites opened from 8am to 2pm, but will be closed on Christmas day, Boxing day and New Year's Day.
