Collections during Easter
All waste and recycling collections are unaffected by the Easter break, so you should put your bins out on your normal scheduled day.
‘Simpler Recycling’ rules
The government recently brought in new rules about what councils have to collect and recycle. This is to help standardise collections across England. However, our current recycling scheme is already compliant with rules, meaning we have not had to make any changes.
