ALL household recycling and waste collections in Leicester will take place on the usual collection day over the forthcoming Easter holiday.
There will be no changes to any collection days, including on Good Friday (3 April) when a special bank holiday collection will take place.
People should put out their bins and orange bags by 7am on the normal collection day.
Householders are also reminded that you can use your orange bags or communal recycling bins to recycle plastic packaging, foil, cardboard and Easter egg boxes. The foil around chocolate eggs can be scrunched together into a larger ball to make it easier to sort it for recycling.

The household waste recycling centres at Gypsum Close and Freemen's Common will be open from 8am to 8pm as usual throughout the Easter period.
However, Gypsum Close Trade Waste Facility will be closed from Friday 3 April and reopen on Tuesday 7 April.
Customers of the city’s garden waste service should note that bank holidays do not affect collections. To download a copy of your collection calendar, visit www.leicester.gov.uk/gardenwaste
