Make sure you don't end up with a rubbish or recycling truck at your Jubilee street party. And don't miss your collection day, as there are a number of changes to the collection days affecting recycle, rubbish and garden waste pick-ups, including assisted collections.

No collections Thursday, June 2; these will be on Saturday, June 4.

No collections Friday, June 3; these will be on Monday, June 6.

All collections for that week (w/c June 6) are one day later, including Friday 10 June pick-ups on Saturday 11 June.

If you are having a street party on a collection day, Somerset Waste Partnership have issued the following statement:

"Many events are on Thursday, Friday or Sunday, when no collections are taking place.

"The vast majority of Jubilee events are in community venues and not in the street.
