Remember the 'slipping days' :

Please remember that the collection day for your waste will change whenever there is a bank holiday. The system, called 'slipping days' means that whenever there is a bank holiday, the day your waste is collected on will 'slip back' by one or two days. The number of days 'slipped' will equal the number of bank holidays.

For example :

• At Easter there are two bank holidays (Good Friday and Easter Monday) :
  If before Easter you had your recycling and waste collected on a Tuesday, then your collection day will move back two days to Thursday and will remain as a Thursday until the next bank holiday (in May) when it will 'slip back' again.
• In August there is one bank holday :
  If before the bank holiday at the end of August you had your recycling and waste collected on a Monday, then your collection day will move back one day to Tuesday and will remain as a Tuesday until the next bank holidays at Christmas when it will 'slip back' again.
• There are no collections on bank holidays, or Saturdays, or Sundays.
