Wednesday 6 January:
Despite the bad weather conditions, we completed most of the scheduled collections due on Wednesday 6 January. However, if you were one of the few properties that we did not manage to access, please leave your bin out and we will attempt to collect as soon as it is feasible to return. We are aware of which roads did not receive a collection and will give priority to catching up in these areas early next week (weather permitting). Please check this web site for further updates.
Thursday 7 January:
All refuse & recycling collections were suspended on Thursday 7 January.
If your BLACK BIN collection was due on Thursday 7 January:
We will collect your black bin next week on you normal collection day (weather permitting), together with any extra sacks. If you wish to place your green-lidded bin out at the same time, we will also collect any green waste you may have. Please note that this will not be composted, but treated as normal refuse instead.
Alternatively, you may wish to save your green waste for composting and place it out for your next scheduled collection in the week starting 25 January. Any additional sacks of green waste you may have accumulated will also be collected at that time.
Your green box will be collected separately, as scheduled next week.

This morning all crews attempted to carry out the scheduled refuse & recycling collections, and they have managed to collect from some roads. However, due to extremely difficult & hazardous road conditions, collections have now been suspended.
If you have not received your scheduled collection today, please refer to the guidance given for Thursday collections above.
