Bank Holiday waste collections

From 1 May 2020, we changed the way we collect your refuse, recycling and garden waste for the weeks that include a bank holiday. The changes are to reduce the overall cost of our waste collection services, enabling us to maintain your weekly collections. 

You must present your waste and recycling no earlier than 6pm the day before collection, and by 6am on the day of collection and for garden waste by 7am on your collection day(s).

Please note: if your normal collection day does not fall directly on a bank holiday, the changes will still affect your collections during that week.
