RESIDENTS have been reminded by Cotswold District Council (CDC) that refuse and recycling collections due on Bank Holiday Monday (May 30) will be taking place as usual.
Councillor Sue Coakley, cabinet member for the environment at CDC, said: "We are only making changes to Christmas collection schedules this year, but it is always useful to remind the public that it is ‘business as usual’ on other public holidays.
“In other words, our waste service provider, Ubico Ltd, will be working normal hours during the forthcoming Bank Holiday Monday on May 30 and also on August Bank Holiday Monday (August 29).”
She added: “The late May Bank Holiday coincides with the school half-term break and this usually generates additional household waste. With this in mind, we are encouraging everyone to recycle as much as possible, including food and drink packaging.
“Ubico crews collect recycling at the kerbside every fortnight, and recycling ‘bring banks’ are also available across the District.”
