Bath and North East Somerset Council are reviewing operating times to help crews during the hot weather. Rubbish and recycling collections will now start from 6am (instead of 7am) and will finish later than previously.

Residents must leave their waste and recycling containers at the front edge of their property by 6am (one hour earlier) on their normal collection day. To ensure collections are not missed, residents are advised to put their containers out the night before their collection day (no earlier than 8pm).

Collection times are likely to vary throughout the day and bins may need to be left out longer than they normally would. Once bins have been collected, residents must bring their empty containers back in as soon as possible on their collection day.

Summary of changes to rubbish and recycling collection times

• Collections now start an hour earlier from 6am
• Crews may arrive earlier or later in the day than previously
