@JeniParsons I fail to understand why all councils do such jiggery pokery.
In my mind, it would simpler that for every bank holiday (Easter taking 2) you shift the collection day back a day. So if your day is currently Friday, it'll shift to Tuesday from now on until the next bank holiday when it'll then shift to Wednesday.

@Simon_M @JeniParsons We used to do that. Now they collect on bank holidays as normal to prevent this sort of thing. (Except in December - when its chaos)
