Garbage Collection Changes For Heroes Day
The Ministry of Public Works & Environment and the City of Hamilton are reminding residents that waste collection will be adjusted due to the National Heroes Day holiday.
Government Statement
A Government spokesperson said, “The Ministry of Public Works and Environment is advising that due to National Heroes Day on Monday, 15 June 2026, household waste collection will follow a roll-over schedule.
“On roll-over weeks, waste collection days move over by one day, resulting in waste normally collected on Monday being collected on Tuesday, Tuesday’s waste on Wednesday, and ending with Friday’s waste being collected on Saturday.
“Recycling collection will remain unchanged as this is not a recycling collection week.
“Members of the public may also use the Tynes Bay Public Drop-off, which is open 7 days a week from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. to dispose of household waste, TAG recyclables, hazardous materials such as paints and pesticides, and bulky burnable and non-burnable items.
“For the 2026 Garbage and Recycling calendar and a comprehensive list of What Goes Where, visit gov.bm/waste.”
