Bank Holiday Bin Collection Changes

Date published: 12th March 2026

Keep an eye out for leaflets attached to your bins, which will be distributed from March 16, outlining the bin collection days over the bank holidays for 2026/2027.

Please check your revised collection days carefully, they may be earlier or later than usual.

The adjustment to the schedule is intended to allow our contractors to enjoy a full Easter weekend with their families, rather than working on the Saturday between the two Bank Holidays.

As such, there will be no collections between Friday 3rd April and Monday 6th April inclusive.

Outside of bank holiday variations, all collection days will carry on as normal.

Please retain your leaflet for future reference, or use our online bin checker.
