Overview
- By Thursday, most councils had confirmed normal service for Good Friday and Easter Monday, while a notable group set revised timetables for the Easter week.
- Collections will run as usual in several areas, including the Isle of Wight, Herefordshire, Nuneaton and Bedworth, and across County Durham and Darlington.
- Buckinghamshire will collect Friday’s rounds on Saturday and shift all pickups one day later next week with 6:30am set‑out times, and Test Valley will keep Good Friday but run all collections a day late after Easter Monday.
- Other councils are making bigger changes, with West Suffolk cancelling Good Friday rounds and pushing some pickups two days later, and Wrexham suspending both bank holidays with specific catch‑up dates and extra recycling allowed; Carmarthenshire moved collections a day earlier this week and a day later next week.
- Household Recycling Centres switched to longer summer hours on April 1 and many stay open over Easter, though Warwickshire lists site‑specific bank holiday closures, and councils are reminding residents that bins left to obstruct pavements can bring fines of up to £400 under Section 46A.
