Many bins will be filled with piles of wrapping paper, cardboard boxes, empty drink bottles and food packaging as people across the borough enjoy the festivities.
So it’s important to know when to drag out your wheelie bins and make sure you do not miss the chance to get them emptied.
We have pulled together a list of exactly when bins across Wigan borough will be emptied, with dates depending on where you live.
