Resident’s bins, boxes and bags should be put out on the revised collection day or the night before.

If opening on a Monday is part of your local recycling centres’ opening days, then it will be open as usual from 9am to 6pm on Bank Holiday Monday.

To help manage the increased volume of recycling, residents are encouraged to make extra space in their recycling boxes by crushing and flattening their recyclables. This simple step can make a difference to help reduce the number of trips crews need to make to empty their vehicles.
