Bank holiday collection changes

When there’s a bank holiday or official public holiday, our waste and recycling collections will follow a revised schedule.

Here are the collection changes for the next holiday period:

Normal collection day	Revised collection day
Wednesday 25 December	Friday 27 December
Thursday 26 December	Saturday 28 December
Friday 27 December	Monday 30 December
