THE Easter Bank Holiday is nearly upon us – but what does that mean for bin collections?

For some Easter may mean more waste – such as cardboard boxes and foil wrapping from chocolate eggs.

But what about the collection of recycling and wheelie bins? Will they be impacted by the bank holiday?

This is what is happening across Gwent.
