All bin collections across Hambleton will be affected by the changes in this year’s May Day bank holiday.
The bank holiday has been moved from Monday, May 4 to Friday, May 8 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.
Collections during the week commencing Monday, May 4 will move forward one day with Mondays collections taking place on Saturday, May 2, meaning there will be no collections on Friday, May 8.
This means that unlike other bank holidays, the collections will be a day earlier rather than being pushed back a day.
The council says that despite the Covid-19 situation crews are working hard to try to maintain all kerbside collections of recycling, garden and general household waste, but due to limited staff numbers the following services will not be undertaken until further notice;
- Special collections, road sweeping by the mechanical road sweeper and large and bulky waste removal services have all been suspended
- Limited or no collections of fly tipped material
- 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 collected.
The annual subscription charge is £40 per licence, which is valid from Monday, March 30 2020 to Friday, March 26 2021.
There are no exemptions, concessions or discounts for joining at a later date.
Licences are not transferable or refundable and are only valid for the property for which they were purchased. Please allow ten working days for the licence to arrive.
