Hambleton residents are being reminded that all bin collections will be earlier than normal due this year’s May Day bank holiday on Friday, May 8.
Collections due on Monday 4 May will be two days earlier with collections taking place on Saturday 2 May whilst collections due to take place on Tuesday 5 May to Friday 8 May will be one day earlier meaning there will be no collections on the bank holiday (Friday 8 May).
The bank holiday has been moved from Monday 4 May to coincide with Victory in Europe Day (VE Day) which marks the 75th anniversary of the formal end of World War II.
This bank holiday has only been moved once before in 1995 to mark the 50th anniversary of VE Day.
Despite the COVID 19 crews are still working hard to try to maintain all kerbside collections of Recycling, Garden and General Household Waste, limited staff numbers have affected the following services;
- Bulky household waste collections have been suspended
- Mechanical sweeping of roads has been reduced
- Crews are unable to return for bins once the lorry has passed the property
Garden waste collections will only be collected from subscribing properties. Each bin must display its own valid licence – bins that do not display the new green sticker will not be emptied. The annual subscription charge is £40 per licence, which is valid from Monday 30 March 2020 to Friday 26 March 2021. There are no exemptions, concessions or discounts for joining at a later date. Licences are not transferrable or refundable and are only valid for the property for which they were purchased. Please allow ten working days for the licence to arrive.
For further information on COVID 19, bin collection dates and to purchase your garden waste licence check out hambleton.gov.uk.
Council officials are searching for the owners of more than 50 Richmondshire yet to apply for a Government grant.
