North Devon Council has announced changes to waste and recycling collections over the Easter and early May bank holidays.

There will be no collections on Good Friday, 18 April 2025. 

Collections due that day will instead take place on Saturday, 19 April. 

For the week starting Monday, 21 April, all collections will be one day later than usual, running from Tuesday, 22 April to Saturday, 26 April.

Normal collections will start again on Monday, 28 April. 

However, due to the early May bank holiday, collections will be delayed by a day and will take place from Tuesday, 6 May to Saturday, 10 May.

The council is also reminding residents to recycle correctly over Easter. 

Cardboard and brown paper should go in brown recycling bags, while scrunched-up foil and plastics (except black plastic) should go in the black/green recycling box.

Residents should put their bins out by 6am on their collection day, or the evening before.
