 New bin collection calendars
New bin collection calendars available in Exeter
New online bin collection calendars are now available in Exeter and there are important changes to how collections are carried out following bank holidays, the City Council has announced.
Exeter City Council has released the domestic bin collection calendars for March 2023 to March 2024.
