When is my waste collected?
View collection calendars for 2012 for:
Bank Holidays: There are no bin
collections on Bank Holiday Mondays, all services move on a day.
This means normal Monday collections are carried out on
Tuesday, and so on through the week. If your normal collection day
is Friday, your bin will be collected on Saturday. The waste
collection calendars above, and the online service: "when is
my next waste collection" will show when your bins will be
collected in Bank Holiday weeks.
