Update: Waste and recycling collections during Yellow Weather Warning for Snow & Ice
Friday 19th the teams have been and are currently out emptying waste and recycling bins as best they can.
However, the snow and icy conditions mean our bin lorries haven’t and may not be able to access some streets and roads, even if other vehicles can.
Any full or part streets that were un-safe or inaccessible and therefore not collected, the teams will record it electronically, on the in-cab device.
For any 3-weekly collected bins (Grey, Blue, Brown). Our teams will get to them as soon as we can next week –present bins again on Monday and leave them out
We will not be returning to green bins (organic waste) as they are collected weekly. They will be collected on the next scheduled collection day.
Business waste customers.
The few remaining outstanding collections not done by 5pm today, will be collected on Monday by 5pm.
Sub-zero temperatures can cause waste to stick in any bin, but especially the Green Bins (Organic Recycling).
The staff will do their best to ‘shake’ the bin to loosen the waste, but some might remain.
