REFUSE collections will continue as normal during Easter.

Bins normally collected on Friday will be collected on Saturday, there will be no service on Easter Monday and collections during next will take place one day later than usual.

Those residents who would normally have their collection on Friday April 1 will have them on Saturday April 2 instead.

Doorstep waste paper sacks will be collected one day late just for the week from Good Friday. All changes are shown on the calendars delivered to all properties before Christmas.

Residents are reminded not to overfill their bins and where possible to take items for recycling to roadside collection points, such as bottlebanks outside pubs, supermarkets and libraries.
