FOLLOWING the success of the Easter waste collection arrangements, and with a view of providing residents with the best possible service, Ceredigion County Council has changed when it will be collecting waste on Bank Holiday Mondays.
Over the May Bank Holidays, we will endeavour to provide waste collections as follows:
Usual collection day
Collecting on
Monday 1 May
Moving to
Saturday 29 April
Monday 8 May
Moving to
Saturday 6 May
Monday 29 May
Moving to
Saturday 27 May
Residents are asked to share this information as widely as possible with neighbours, family, friends, and communities across Ceredigion who may be affected.
It is intended to continue with this approach for the Bank Holiday Monday in August which will see the collections due on the Bank Holiday Monday being collected on the Saturday before.
Councillor 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.”
