The upcoming Easter weekend means changes to recycling and rubbish collections across the county. Collections that would usually happen on Good Friday, 29th March, will take place on Saturday, 30th March instead.
There will be no collections on Easter Monday, 1st April, and Easter week collections will be one day later, including Friday collections which will take place on Saturday 6th April.
To help crews speed up collections, please present boxes, bags and bins by 7am on the day of collection, or the night before. With waste collections a day later, a higher volume of waste is likely. Crushing and flattening waste can help to reduce the number of trips that teams need to make to empty their trucks, as well as create more space in residents’ containers.
As well as changes to collections, the county’s Recycling Sites will revert to their summer opening hours from Monday, 1st April. All sites will remain open from 9am to 4pm on weekends, midweek sites will be open from 9am to 6pm. Opening days vary from site to site, so please check recycling site opening times online before you visit.
Not yet recyclable at the kerbside or at our recycling sites are chocolate bar and sweet wrappers, plastic bags and plastic-foil pouches, plastic ‘windows’ in boxes, and similar thin-soft plastic film. Many of these plastics can be dropped off at supermarkets and some are taken in TerraCycle recycling schemes. Please check where you shop or click here to take a look at the Council’s guide to supermarket and TerraCycle recycling schemes.
