BIN day is to be moved to Saturday instead of Monday for the three bank holidays in May.

Ceredigion County Council has said that following the success of Saturday collections instead of Monday during the easter bank holiday, it has changed arrangements for the three public holidays in May.

Residents who usually have a bin collection on Monday, 1 May, will instead have to present their rubbish on Saturday, 29 April.

Similarly, bin collections scheduled for Monday, 8 May will move to Saturday, 6 May and collections on Monday, 29 May will instead take place on Saturday, 27 May.

Cllr Keith Henson, Cabinet Member for Highways and Environmental Services and Carbon Management, said: “We continually review our approach to the delivery of our services with a view of providing the best possible level of service to the public with the resources that are available to us. Waste collections on Bank Holidays have historically proved to be problematic and presented some challenges.

“During 2023 our intention is to bring forward collections scheduled for Bank Holiday Mondays to the Saturday before. This will hopefully give us a better chance of securing the resources we need to deliver the services and provides an opportunity to recover soon after if we are not able to provide the collection on the scheduled day. We will be making efforts to share the information as widely as possible and, as always as part of Caru Ceredigion, would like to sincerely thank the public for their ongoing understanding and support.”
