Householders in Shropshire are being reminded that their recycling and waste will be collected a day later following Easter Monday.
Collection crews will be working on Good Friday and waste will be collected as normal that day.
However, as a result of the Easter Monday bank holiday, collections due to be made from Monday, April 2 will be made a day later than normal. For example, collections that would normally be made on that Monday will instead be made on Tuesday, April 3, continuing like that throughout the week with collections that would normally be made on Friday, April 6 being made on Saturday, April 7.
Collections will return to normal on Monday, April 9.
Any residents unsure about which day they should put out their recycling or waste are asked to check their collection calendar or check out their bin day on line using the local authority website www.shropshire.gov.uk/binday
Tim Walters, communications manager at Veolia, said: “We are reminding people that their recycling and waste containers will be collected a day late for the week following the Easter weekend.
"If anyone is unsure when their collection day is, they can also check their collection calendars.
"The Household Recycling Centres will be open 9am-5pm each day as usual during the Easter break.
"Residents are also reminded that they can recycle Easter cards (without glitter) and the cardboard packaging from Easter Eggs in their blue bag.”
