No change to Easter bin collections

Recycling and waste collections will not be affected by the Easter Bank Holiday with collections on both Good Friday and Easter Monday as normal.

Residents are being reminded that they should put their recycling and waste out by 7.30am on their normal collection day ready for the crews to collect as normal.

Commercial recycling and waste collections and green garden waste collections will also continue as normal on both holidays.

Any additional cardboard packaging, envelopes and cards can be recycled in the blue paper and card box and hard plastic items and silver foil packaging usually found around Easter eggs can be recycled in the red plastic and cans box.

Often the long weekend is a time that many tackle the garden or a DIY project, but the council requests that trips to the Household Waste Recycling Centres be kept to a minimum.
