Chair of Cheshire East Council's environment and communities committee, Cllr Mick Warren, said: "The changes to collections over the festive season will not affect all residents – they will only affect households that have their recycling (silver bin) or residual waste (black bin) collected on a Wednesday or Thursday.
"Some collections will be brought forward, and others pushed back, depending on people's normal bin collection day.
"In previous years, we have added stickers to people's bin lids letting them know about the changes.
"However, this does of course cost money and given the council's significant financial challenges, we have decided not to share the information in this way this year.
"Instead, as we usually do, information can be found on our website and our online bin collection calendar has been updated with the rescheduled collections.
"I encourage people who may have relatives, friends or neighbours without access to the internet to check this information for them, so they don't miss out on any collections.
"I would also like to remind residents that they can now sign up – or renew their subscription – to the council's Garden Waste Recycling Scheme if they would like to have their garden waste collected from January.
"Finally, I would like to thank our waste colleagues, who will be continuing to deliver essential frontline services over the festive period."
