There will be no change to the bank holiday rubbish and recycling collection service.

Rubbish and recycling collection crews will be working on Bank Holiday Monday to ensure there will be no disruption to services during the August bank holiday week.

Residents whose normal collection day falls on Bank Holiday Monday should present their blue or black wheelie bin and green food waste bin for collection before 7am on Monday at the boundary of their property as normal. Collections taking place for the rest of week will also remain unchanged.

If residents put their bin out on the wrong day their rubbish or recycling will not be picked up until their next scheduled collection day.

Under the new collection system, collections will always take place on bank holidays, except over the Christmas and New Year period.

Councillor Bassam Mahfouz, cabinet member for transport, environment and leisure, said: "Feedback on the new recycling service is that it’s even easier to use and recycling figures so far show that more people are taking part."

"One of the issues with the old system was the constant changing around bank holidays and some people putting rubbish and recycling out on the wrong day. So, another benefit of the new service is that other than around Christmas and New Year, your collection days do not change, making it easier for everyone to recycle."
