There will be no collections on Easter Monday (Monday 6th April), so during the following week all collections will take place one day later than usual, with Friday collections happening on Saturday 11th April.
To help crews complete collections as quickly as possible, residents are asked to put their boxes, bags and bins out by 7am on collection day, or the night before. As collections are a day later than usual, higher volumes of waste are expected. Squashing, crushing and flattening items can help create more space in containers and reduce the number of trips the crews need to make.
Recycling sites will remain open over the Easter weekend, from 9am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday. All Somerset recycling sites will also move to their spring and summer opening hours from Wednesday 1st April 2026. From this date sites will be open:
9am to 6pm, Monday to Friday
9am to 4pm at weekends
Opening days vary at some sites during the week, but all sites are open on Saturdays and Sundays.
Residents are advised to check online for site opening days before visiting. Go to Somerset Council’s recycling centre pages for opening schedules and the waste services webpage for recycling and rubbish collection days.
