As it’s the early May bank holiday this weekend, the council’s waste collection provider, Ubico, is reminding residents of their alternative collection days.

Collections of waste, recycling and garden waste will take place a day later than usual as follows:

Normal collection day

Revised collection day
Monday 4 May (bank holiday) Tuesday 5 May
Tuesday 5 May Wednesday 6 May
Wednesday 6 May Thursday 7 May
Thursday 7 May Friday 8 May
Friday 8 May Saturday 9 May

Normal scheduled collections will resume from Monday 11 May.

In some areas refuse and recycling collections take place as early as 7am so residents are asked to present their food caddies, refuse/garden waste bins and/or bags and recycling boxes in advance.

The Swindon Road recycling centre will be open on the bank holiday, 9am until 1pm, with usual opening hours on all other days.

See our waste and recycling pages for more information or call 01242 262626.
