Bank Holiday collections

Collections will usually run one day late during the week after each Bank Holiday using the following Saturday to complete the catch-up. Normal collection schedules resume as of the week after each of these periods.

Collection schedules around Christmas and Easter, where there are several Bank Holidays in quick succession, may differ from this.

. Collection calendars for the full year can be downloaded via our collection days page.

Summer bank holiday 2024

There will be no waste collections on Monday 26 August.

Collections will run one day behind during the week starting with Monday's work on Tuesday 27 August and ending with Friday's work on Saturday 31 August.  Collections then return to normal Monday 2 September. 

Excess waste

Over bank holidays and Christmas, we will take one additional average-sized sack or bag of rubbish for every day your collection is delayed. For example, if your collection day is usually a Monday and we collect your waste the following day on Tuesday, you can place one additional bag out for collection.
