Residents are reminded that once again the refuse and recycling collection days will not be affected by Bank Holiday Monday. Therefore residents should put their refuse and their Recycle from Home Scheme purple and green boxes out on their usual collection days – even if it falls on a bank holiday.

The same will apply to the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Notes to editors
All Bank Holidays are now worked on except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day, which are agreed each year on a one off basis.
