Last year Salford Council put a short note on their website announcing that household rubbish & recycling services would not be affected by the Easter bank holidays (next week). It seems this year, they either forgot or simply couldn’t be bothered to let residents know.

I’ve just contacted Environmental Services (second time today) and they have confirmed that collections of rubbish and recycling will be made as normal on Good Friday.

Residents due a collection on Good Friday are reminded to leave their normal bins and recycling bins out for collection by 7 am and to ensure they are clear of obstacles such as parked cars, and are not blocking pavements.

It’s worth noting that while bin collections will take place as normal on Good Friday, the call centre will be closed all over the Easter weekend until Tuesday 6th April.
