As a result of the August bank holiday, collections that would normally be made on Monday will be made on Tuesday instead. This pattern will continue like this throughout the week, with collections that would normally be made on Friday, being made on Saturday instead. Collections will return to normal on Monday 5th September.
Angela James, Communications PR Officer at Veolia, said, “We want to remind people that our collection crews will be coming one day later than normal following the bank holiday weekend. Any residents who are unsure which day to put their waste or recycling boxes out are asked to check their collection calendar or use the online collection day finder at shropshire.gov.uk/binday
Over the August bank holiday weekend Shropshire’s five household recycling centres will be open from 9am to 5pm every day. The centres are located at Faraday Drive, Bridgnorth; Battlefield Enterprise Park, Shrewsbury; Craven Arms, Long Lane Industrial Estate; Mile Oak Industrial Estate, Oswestry and Waymills Industrial Estate, Whitchurch.
