Refuse collection changes - New Collection day to be Friday from 11th April 2008
The change means that there will be a switch from a Thursday collection to a Friday and will also involve a switch of weeks (bin colour). These changes will be implemented after Easter. In order to ensure everyone has sufficient bin capacity an additional collection will be made on Friday 4th April of a black bin.
