August Bank Holiday 2022 bin collection dates: When will my rubbish be collected?

AS we enter the last few days of summer, we approach the August bank holiday.

We told you about what time places like McDonald’s, Primark and Wetherspoon pubs open, but what about when your rubbish will be collected?

When are the bin collection dates over the August bank holiday?

The August bank holiday will be a good opportunity to relax, enjoy the sun and have a pint or two at the pub.

However, before we set off on our short break, it’s important to think about some of the less exciting things, like our bin collection dates.

Many local councils are making changes to bin collection dates to accommodate the bank holiday and give their refuse workers a hard earned break.

Depending on where you live, this could mean your rubbish being collected before, during, or after the bank holiday.

When will my bin collection resume to normal days?

Normal bin collection should resume from Monday September 5, 2022.

However, this depends on your local council.

The changes to bin collections also vary depending on which type of bin it is – some councils are postponing the collection of recycling whilst bringing forward the collection of all other waste.

Again, you can check this online with your local council.

When are the Bank Holiday dates in 2022?

Brits would have enjoyed NINE bank holidays by the end of 2022.

It all started with the Substitute New Year’s Day on January 3.

Then we moved on to celebrate Good Friday on April 15 and Easter Sunday of April 17.

Short after, there was the Early May bank holiday on May 2.

After that, Britain prepared to have a four-day nationwide party to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee which commemorated the Queen’s 70-year reign on the throne.

Now, we head into another long weekend as we enjoy the August bank holiday on August 29.

Brits will then have only two more bank holidays to celebrate before we bid farewell to 2022.

These will be Boxing Day on December 26 and the Christmas Substitute day on December 27, since the original holiday will be falling on a Sunday.
