Bin Collections over Jubilee Bank Holiday Weekend
A reminder that the Queen’s Jubilee bank holiday celebrations are affecting bin collections this week.
Your respective bins will be collected a day earlier than usual unless your collection day is Friday 3 June – in this case, please put it out on Monday 6 June.
Collections from Tuesday 7 June will return to normal. Please check our recycling page to find out your dates.
All Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) will be operating their normal hours throughout the bank holiday weekend.

Having a Jubilee Street Party?
Hosting a street party to celebrate the Jubilee this week?
Please do what you can to make sure your street is returned to its previous cleanliness.
There'll be no extra provision for street parties so waste must go in the appropriate bins.
Thank you!
Doncaster is in the Jubilee Spirit!
We've seen so many amazing efforts to decorate the community to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
We'll share more next week but here are a few of our favourites so far...
Doncaster Archives New Home
How good is that feeling of emptying the very last box when you move home!
The final box containing archives material has finally been delivered to Doncaster’s Archives collection at their brand new home - the former museum on Chequer Road.
In the coming weeks, council staff will continue to store and prepare the collections ready for access.
It is expected that the facility will be fully open to the public this September where residents and visitors will have the opportunity to discover the wealth of the borough’s history.
