Walking down our road yesterday, we were surprised to see that many neighbours had put their rubbish out for collection.
We normally have our rubbish collected on a Tuesday, so we guess most people expected it would be collected the next day, given the disruption caused by the Christmas and New Year holidays.
However, due to the refuse team catching up with backlog from the four bank holidays, our rubbish won’t be collected until Friday this week.
With the risk of rubbish being strewn across the streets after being opened by wildlife, do check the table below for your collection dates over the next couple of weeks.
If you have limited access to the Internet and forget the dates, you can see a list of refuse collection/recycling dates and locations in your local Library.
