When will my bin collection resume to normal days?
Normal bin collection should resume on Tuesday, September 20, 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 on April 17.
Shortly 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.
The Summer Bank Holiday took place on Monday, August 29, 2022.
Since the Queen passed away on September 8, 2022, a bank holiday was scheduled to take place on the day of her funeral.
This means that there is a September bank holiday on Monday, September 19, 2022.
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.
