King’s Coronation: When to expect bin collections in Manchester over May 8 bank holiday

As the King’s coronation approaches, Brits will get another bank holiday this weekend to commemorate the historic occasion. However, if you are one of many people having a street party in Manchester, you may be wondering if bin collections will have an impact on how you can dispose of your rubbish.

Manchester City Council has now confirmed bin collections for the King’s coronation bank holiday will operate as normal, so people are advised to leave their bin out before 7am on the collections day. A spokesperson said: “No bin collection changes over the bank holiday weekend.”

The coronation of the King is scheduled on Saturday, May 6. People across the country have been awarded an extra day off on May 8 to commemorate the event. This will be the second of three May bank holiday weekends, with the first being the usual May Day weekend.

Meanwhile, employees will be given an extra day off at the end of the month to accommodate the late bank holiday weekend.
