Customers who are on the F6 calendar had their last collection processed on Saturday 19 December (your calendar reference is located at the bottom right of the calendar). This was in lieu of the fact that the next collection fell on Christmas Day, with Saturday 26 December being St Stephen's Day: both these days were public holidays.

This was advertised in the Irish Independent and Evening Herald during the week beginning 14 December.

The next scheduled collection of people using the F6 calendar is Friday 8 January. Because of how Christmas fell in 2009, this meant that customers would go three weeks before their first collection in 2010.
