Bury Council is reminding residents that they will see no change to their household waste collections over Easter.
 
Collections of rubbish and recycling will take place as usual on Good Friday. Residents due a collection on this day should leave their bins out for collection by 7am and make sure they are clear of obstacles such as parked vehicles. The same applies to those households that are due a brown bin collection on Easter Monday.
 
Bury Council is also prompting residents to recycle as much of their Easter waste as possible.
 
In the blue bin - recycle glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles, aluminium and steel food and drink cans, empty aerosol cans, clean aluminium foil.
 
In the green bin - recycle newspapers, magazines and junk mail, catalogues and phone directories, paper and shredded paper, cardboard packaging and boxes, clean cardboard food packaging, wrapping paper, greetings cards and envelopes, cardboard milk and drink cartons.
 
In the brown - recyclecooked and uncooked food waste, garden waste such as grass cuttings, shrub and hedge clippings, cut flowers and plants, leaves, bark and twigs, small branches, small logs.
 
Plastic bags should not be placed in any of the recycling bins.
 
Residents planning a springtime clearout or clean-up can also take their unwanted household items to any household waste recycling centre in Greater Manchester. Local centres are in Bury (Fernhill depot) and Radcliffe (Cemetery Road), and opening times over the Easter weekend are 8am to 8pm.

Bury Council’s Customer Contact Team will be closed on both Good Friday and Easter Monday but collection details can be checked online at www.bury.gov.uk/bincollections. Problems can be reported online at www.bury.gov.uk/reportaproblem.
