We know you probably know what happens to your recycling and waste collections when there's a bank holiday weekend, so you're probably here because you're doubting yourself.

Don't worry, we're not judging.

This Easter, collections will be:

·    Good Friday 7 April: Friday collections take place on Saturday 8 April.

·    No collections on Easter Monday 10 April.

·    Easter week collections are one day later, including Friday collections on Saturday 15 April.

Along with changes to collections, Somerset Council are asking residents to be "good eggs" this Easter and recycling as much as possible.

Almost all Easter egg packaging can be recycled in weekly kerbside collections.

·    Cardboard box – flattened and into your black recycling box.

·    Aluminium foil – scrunched and into your Bright Blue bag.

·    Plastic mould – into your Bright Blue Bag.

Not yet recyclable at the kerbside or our recycling sites are chocolate bar and sweet wrappers, plastic bags and plastic-foil pouches, plastic 'windows' in boxes, and similar thin-soft plastic film.

You can use the My Collection Day feature at www.somerset.gov.uk/waste to check your collection days online, download a printable calendar or, better still, add your dates to the calendar on your smart device or laptop.
