Residents across Canvey Island and the rest of the borough will see their bin collections pushed back by one day following the Spring Bank Holiday on Monday 25 May 2026. Castle Point Borough Council has confirmed that no collections will take place on the holiday itself, requiring a temporary shift in the usual schedule.
Under the revised arrangement, if a household’s collection is normally due on Monday, it will take place on Tuesday. This pattern continues throughout the week, with Tuesday collections moving to Wednesday, and so on, until Friday collections are picked up on Saturday. This change applies to all waste services, including general refuse, recycling, food waste, garden waste, glass recycling, and bulky waste.
The council reminds residents that all bins must be presented for collection by 7am on their adjusted day. According to the Castle Point Borough Council waste information page, normal collection services will resume the following week.
