SOMERSET NEWS: Refuse collection changes due to Bank Holiday

PEOPLE are being advised about changes to recycling and rubbish collection days due to the forthcoming Bank Holiday weekend.

There will be no collections on Bank Holiday Monday, August 29, 2016, which will mean that collections will be held one day later that week including Friday pick-ups taking place on Saturday, September 3, 2016.

The changes affect collections of recycling, refuse, garden waste, as well as clinical waste and assisted collections.

Residents should sort and segregate recycling, ensure no recycling – especially food – is in the rubbish bin and put all waste containers out by 7am.

All 16 recycling sites are on their usual timetables, with five – Bridgwater, Frome, Minehead, Taunton and Yeovil – open 8am-4pm seven days a week, and 11 open five days a week, including Saturday 8am-4pm, Sunday 8am-1pm and Bank Holiday Monday 8am-7pm.

All kerbside collections return to their usual schedules from Monday, September 5, 2016.
