Easter bank holiday collections

Colourful Easter Eggs

The long Easter weekend on 3 to 6 April means your recycling and rubbish collections will be a day later. There won’t be collections on Friday 3 April or Monday 6 April.

If you usually have a Friday collection, it will move to Saturday, 4 April.

Collections resume on Tuesday 7 April, and will be a day later all week.

To help crews speed up collections, please put your boxes, bags and bins out by 7am on the day of collection, or the night before.

With waste collections a day later a higher volume of waste is likely. Squashing, crushing and flattening waste can help to reduce the number of trips that teams need to make to empty their trucks, as well as creating more space in your containers.
