REFUSE and recycling collections across Tendring will be a day late next week because of the May Day bank holiday.

Residents are being urged not to put rubbish out earlier than is necessary but to make sure it is placed at the boundary of their property by 7am on the revised collection day.

Friday's collections will take place on the Saturday and rounds will return to normal from May 9.

Local recycling centres will be open as normal from 9am-5pm on bank holiday Monday.
