Collection Day Change For State Funeral Of Her Majesty The Queen

Out of respect for the funeral of Her Late Majesty The Queen on Monday, residents are being advised waste, recycling and garden subscriptions collections will be changed for the upcoming week.

This means all waste, recycling and garden waste collections for the week commencing will run one day late.

Collections for the week commencing on Monday September 26 will resume on their normal day.

The UK is currently in a period of National Mourning.

Natasha Dix, the council's strategic manager for the environment, said:

“It is with the greatest sadness that we learnt of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty’s death is an enormous loss as the majority of us will have never known a time without our Queen.

“We have taken the decision, with our waste partners, Amey, to suspend kerbside collections on the day of her State  Funeral as a mark of respect.

"As a result, collections will roll forward by a day over that week.”

Household Recycling Centres at Lynnbottom and Afton Marsh will remain open on Monday September 19.
