Bin collection days will change over the Easter period to accommodate the extended bank holiday weekend.

North Herts Council collections will also change over the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend, June 2 to June 5.

Over Easter, waste bins normally collected on Fridays – Good Friday, April 15 – will be emptied on Saturday, April 16 instead.

Bin collections scheduled for Monday – Easter Monday, April 18 – will be collected the following day, Tuesday, April 19.

This will have the knock-on effect throughout the week, with amended collection dates a day later than normal.

Collections will return to normal for North Herts Council residents on Monday, April 25.

Bin collections will also be a day later than normal after the early May Bank Holiday.
