No change to bins over Jubilee weekend

It will come as a relief to many hosting parties over the long Jubilee Weekend next week that bin collections will be unaffected.

Recycling and waste collections will take place on both Thursday 2 and Friday, June 3 as normal.

Nigel Brinn, Executive Director Economy and Environment said: “Our intention is to collect all recycling and waste on the Jubilee bank holidays, so if your collection day falls on either Thursday 2 or Friday 3 June, please put your bins and containers out for collection as usual.

“In addition, all our Household Waste Recycling Centres will also be open as usual and we would like to extend a big thank-you to our hardworking crews and staff who will be forfeiting their celebrations to ensure we can continue to recycle our waste over the four-day weekend.”

Residents are being reminded that they should put their recycling and waste out by 7.30am on their normal collection day.
