Despite the Council’s best efforts this morning they have reluctantly had to suspend all today’s refuse and recycling collections for safety reasons.

Refuse only : leave bins out and they will be collected as soon as possible.

All recycling : please return bins/containers to property and they will be collected on the next schedule collection day where extras will be taken in clearly marked bags.

So for Shaw and Crompton that means your green bin will be emptied next week and your brown bin in two weeks.
