Somerset Waste Partnership Services (SWP)
No collections on the Summer Bank Holiday Monday 30 August, means recycling and rubbish services are one day later all week, including Friday pick- ups on Saturday 4 September.
The changes affect collections of recycling, refuse and garden waste, as well as assisted collections. Residents should sort and segregate materials, ensure no recycling – especially food – is in the rubbish bin, and put all waste containers out by 7am.
Recycling sites remain on their usual timetables, with all 16 sites open 9am-4pm on the Bank Holiday Saturday and Sunday weekend. 12 sites will be open 9am- 6pm on Bank Holiday Monday: Bridgwater, Minehead, Taunton, and Williton.
All kerbside collections return to their usual schedules from Monday 6 September.
