Friday, January 1 collections will change to Saturday , January 2.
Collections return to normal from Monday, January 4, 2021.
Bury Council have said that there will be no brown bin collections from December 21 to January 1 because garden waste is reduced at this time of year.
Most households will have enough space in their bin for extra food waste, winter temperatures help prevent food waste from breaking down and so extra effort can be put into emptying other bins which fill up more quickly at this time of year, according to the town hall.
Those who wish to dispose of real Christmas trees are asked to remove all decorations, lights and the wooden base, then chop it up so it fits inside the brown bin with the lid fully closed.
They can also be taken to a recycling centre.
