Residents are being reminded of a change to trash collection next week as a result of the long weekend.

The Ministry of Public Works said this morning that trash normally collected on Monday will instead this week be collected this Saturday due to the Labour Day holiday.

The affected area includes all households from Dockyard to Lighthouse Road, Southampton.

All other trash will be collected as normal next week.

Recyclables will be collected the following week on Thursday in the West End and Friday in the East End.

A ministry spokeswoman added: “To preserve public health, residents are reminded to keep waste in a lidded bin on their property, and to place waste out for collection no later than 7.30am on their scheduled collection day only.”
