 Bank holiday weekend waste collections
Waste collections will take place on your normal day on the upcoming bank holiday weekend.
Crews start earlier at 5.30pm so if you’re due a collection on Friday (18 April) or Monday (21 April) put it out the night before to help collection teams out.
All recycling, food, general and garden waste will be collected as normal. You can always check your collection day on our website.

 Pizza restaurant you Knead to know about
Knead Neapolitan Pizza is the newest business coming to Peach Place in Wokingham.
They’re due to open later this summer and are taking on the former Leafy Elephant unit.
The team are opening up their second restaurant following a successful first, which opened in Maidenhead in 2022.
Peach Place is part of our Wokingham town centre regeneration - the area includes a new public square with shops, bars, restaurants and homes.
 The power we're supplying... it's electrifying!
As part of our efforts to promote electric vehicles (EVs), we're helping to organise an awareness event at Winnersh Triangle Business Park on Friday, 11 July.
Guests will have the chance to test drive EVs and hear from experts like the Energy Saving Trust about the opportunities for grants and tax benefits that EVs and related infrastructure offer.
They'll also be able to network with specialist suppliers and installers. The event is mostly focused on Berkshire businesses but residents will be able to attend.
The event will be organised in partnership with Let's Experience Electric and our council counterparts in Reading, Bracknell Forest, Windsor and Maidenhead, Slough and West Berkshire.
It will support our Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy, which we approved earlier this year to help people make the switch by filling gaps in commercial provision, mostly with Government funding.
We'll announce more details, including times and how to take part in the day, as soon as they're confirmed.
Clinic closes but support in place

If you need to book an appointment, order a home testing kit or get information on sexual health issues, visit the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust website.
The team provides help and advice to adults and under 18s and you can also order a home testing kit online.
