No changes to bin collection arrangements over the Easter holidays

Although this coming Friday is a bank holiday the council has confirmed that there will be no changes to the bin collection round over the Easter holiday period. So please leave your bin out for collection as usual.

Please see full details below in the press release issued by the council:

 

There will be no changes to bin collections in County Durham during the Easter Bank Holiday weeks – weeks starting Monday, 26 March and Monday, 2 April.

This includes refuse and recycling as well as garden waste collections, for those who have signed up to the scheme.

Households who have collections on a Friday are therefore reminded to still put their bins out on Good Friday (30 March).

Residents are also advised to put their bins out for collection by 7am on their normal collection day.

Those who are unsure of their collection days can find out by entering their house number and postcode into the ‘My Durham’ section at www.durham.gov.uk.

For more information about bin collections visit www.durham.gov.uk/recycling and to find out which items go in which bin visit www.durham.gov.uk/whatgoeswhere.
