Check if you’ll have a one-off collection of rubbish

Wheelie bins for rubbish lined along a street

Households in the former Mendip and South Somerset areas may have a change of collection day, beginning from Monday, 17 June. Each home with a change has been written to, and all households in these areas should have received a service guide.

As well as a change in collection day, around 17,000 residents in these areas will have a one-off collection of rubbish on either Saturday 15 June or Saturday 22 June. These collections will mean that no-one goes too long between rubbish collections.

Anyone unsure if they have one of these extra Saturday collections can use our online lookup feature to check. A PDF version of the updated service guide and collection calendar can also be downloaded.

Residents in the following towns and surrounding villages should check if they have an extra rubbish collection. Not every household in these locations will have an extra collection, but some will:

Bruton
Buckhorn Weston
Castle Cary
Chapmanslade
Cheddar
Corsley
Crewkerne
Dilton Marsh
Frome
Glastonbury
Ilminster
Martock
Langport
Radstock
Shepton Mallet
Southwick
Stoke-sub-Hamdon
Wells
Wincanton
Yeovil

The changes will make rounds more efficient and manageable for crews, whilst reducing mileage and carbon emissions.

Residents should re-download their collection schedule to their smart phone or tablet from Monday 17 June.

Changed collection days were introduced in the rest of the county earlier in the year.
