Bin Collections
Waste collections are operating as normal (Green, Blue and Brown bins). Please leave your bins out until emptied.
Collections will be completed by 7pm. Any missed bins should be reported with 24 hours.
We ask residents to not approach refuse crews, or if necessary to please respect social distancing and to clean handles and lids of their waste containers before and after collections to prevent the spread of Covid19.
