Due to the forthcoming Royal wedding and bank holidays this month and in May, there will be some disruption to refuse collections for a two week period.
Weekend collections
To help minimise the disruption, waste due to be collected on Friday 22 April will be picked up on Saturday 23 April, the collection on Monday 25 April will instead be picked up on Saturday 30 April, waste collected on Friday 29 April will be picked up on Friday 6 May and waste due to be picked up on Monday 2 May will be collected on Monday 9 May.
Although this means these households will have one collection for either a 12 day or 14 day period, it will mean tens of thousands of households across the Isle of Wight will not have their waste collection dates disrupted.
A full list of the waste collections is below:
| Normal date | New date | |
| Friday 22 April 2011 | Saturday 23 April 2011 | |
| Monday 25 April 2011 | Saturday 30 April 2011 | |
| Friday 29 April 2011 | Friday 6 May 2011 | |
| Monday 2 May 2011 | Monday 9 May 2011 |
All other collection days unaffected
May Bank Holiday
Meanwhile, there will also be some disruption to collection days at the end of May due to May Bank Holiday where collections will simply run one day late for the week.
A full list is below:
| Normal date | New date | |
| Monday 30 May 2011 | Tuesday 31 May 2011 | |
| Tuesday 31 May 2011 | Wednesday 1 June 2011 | |
| Wednesday 1 June 2011 | Thursday 2 June 2011 | |
| Thursday 2 June 2011 | Friday 3 June 2011 | |
| Friday 3 June 2011 | Saturday 4 June 2011 |
The Island’s three household waste recycling centres at Lynbottom, Afton Road and Forest Road all accept household waste.
