Somerset Council has announced there will be no recycling or rubbish collections taking place on the forthcoming Bank Holiday Monday.
All collections will move back one day – if your usual collection day is Monday, it will now take place on Tuesday. Tuesday collections will be moved to Wednesday and so on.
For those who usually have a Friday collection, their collection will be rescheduled to Saturday, August 30th.
To help manage the increased volume of recycling, people are encouraged to make extra space in their recycling boxes by crushing and flattening their recyclables.
The council says this simple step can make a difference to help reduce the number of trips crews need to make to empty their vehicles.
