Birmingham, UK. 12 December 2017: The average British adult will fill two bin bags of waste this Christmas Day, the equivalent of 109 million bin bags, according to new research* from Clearabee, the on-demand rubbish removal business. Over half (54 per cent) expect to produce more waste than they can fit in their bins this Christmas.
Nearly one in ten (seven per cent) of British adults will fill five or more bags on Christmas Day and one per cent of Brits will enjoy an exceptionally plentiful Christmas, expecting to fill 10 bags of waste on Christmas Day.
