East Midlands bin collection changes for day of the Queen's funeral

Bin collections in the East Midlands that were due to take place on the day of the Queen's funeral have been rearranged.

A bank holiday across the UK was approved by King Charles III for the day of the funeral of his mother, who died on Thursday aged 96.

Councils in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire have confirmed alterations to refuse collections.

Many scheduled for Monday will now take place two days before, on Saturday.

In Erewash, Derbyshire, collections due to take place on Monday will now happen on Saturday 24 September.

Councillor Garry Hickton, lead member for environment at Erewash Borough Council, said the postponement would give "as many people as possible the chance to mark Her Majesty's passing".

He said: "I'm sure that residents will understand that in these circumstances there will be no bin collections carried out on that day."
