Overview
- The advice, which circulated Friday via TikTok and local news outlets, urges residents to confirm any Easter bin day changes on their council website.
- Good Friday operations vary by council, so some areas collect as usual and others pause service.
- If a Friday round is missed, many councils run a Saturday catch-up, then Monday’s bank holiday pushes collections back by about one day.
- Ashley, known as the No1 Bin man, said most rounds return to the normal timetable the following week, though a few councils may run two days late.
- For Easter packaging, he advised flattening clean cardboard, removing plastic, polystyrene and tape, checking local rules on foil, and placing wrappers in general waste and leftover chocolate in food waste.
