Bank holidays always mean a change to the usual Somerset Waste Partnership (SWP) recycling and rubbish schedule. But the extra day off on Thursday, 2nd June means things are more complicated for the Jubilee, including two consecutive Saturday collections.

The Jubilee changes mean:

· No collections on Thursday, 2nd June. These collections will happen on Saturday, 4th June.

· No collections on Friday, 3rd June. These collections will happen on Monday, 6th June.

· All collections for the week beginning 6th June will take place one day later, including Friday, 10th June collections happening on Saturday, 11th June.

Everyone needs to be sure they are aware of the changes and have their rubbish and recycling out by 7am on the right day.

The changed days can be seen in the twelve-month collection day calendars distributed with the introduction of Recycle More collections, except in Mendip calendar do extend to cover this period.

This is the perfect time to use the My Collection Day feature on the SWP homepage somersetwaste.gov.uk to check when your waste will be collected or download a printable version of your collection day calendar.

Better still, use My Collection Day to download your collection days into the calendar on your laptop or mobile device (Apple or Android) creating automatic reminders.
