Residents have been warned to expect delays to bin collections in Swindon during the August bank holiday.
Swindon Borough Council has confirmed that fewer bin collection crews than usual will be working on Monday, August 25, because of the public holiday.
This may lead to some black bins and recycling bins due for collection on Monday not being emptied.
The council has advised residents whose bins are missed to leave them out until they are collected.
It added its crews will collect all waste and recycling missed on Monday as soon as possible.

A spokesperson said: “A reduced number of crews are out collecting on Monday, August 25, which could cause delays across our waste and recycling services, including garden waste collections.
“If your waste or recycling was due for collection and is missed, please leave it out and we will collect it as soon as we can.”
In July, changes to bin collections across the borough were introduced because of the hot weather.
Throughout the summer, crews have been collecting waste and recycling from 6am onwards, rather than the usual 6.30am, to avoid working during peak temperatures.
