Bin collection dates Christmas and New Year 2019: when rubbish is collected in Glasgow over the festive period

With all the eating, drinking and gift-giving that goes on over the holiday period, it's easy to end up with your bins overflowing by the end of it.

Of course, everyone needs some time off, so the collection dates do change a little over Christmas.

If you don't want to wake up to 2020 surrounded by empty boxes and torn up wrapping paper, it might be a good idea to take a note of when you bins will be collected this time around.
