Thursday 8 October - no recycling collections on one of our routes
We regret that, due to ongoing staff shortages, we are unable to collect recycling on one of our routes, Thursday 8 October. Map of affected route.
We regret that we will be unable to return to empty these recycling bins until your next scheduled collection on Thursday 15 October.
However, we will then also collect any excess recycling that you may have collected in the meantime. Please bag any excess recycling and leave it next to your bin(s) at that time (please do not use bags that are larger than your bin).
Suspension of fridge and freezer collection services
We regret that due to UK-wide issues with fridge/freezer disposal we are currently UNABLE TO COLLECT FRIDGES OR FREEZERS. More information here.
