The majority of people in the region will be able to enjoy the holiday period without the dreaded feeling of missing bin day. The only borough that needs to keep an eye out for the the bin wagons coming earlier than usual is Wigan.
For Wiganers, collections will be a day earlier than usual, with bin duties going back to normal on the week commencing April 10. So, for example, if you get your black bin collected on Friday normally, it will be collected on Thursday instead.

No collections will take place on either Friday, April 7 or Monday, April 10.
