Last week we had additional resources working to reduce the backlog of missed bin collections.
We prioritised grey bin collections and we're now on schedule with these.
We've also made good progress on collecting recycling bins, but we're aware there are still many outstanding. We'll be focussing on these more this week.
Please leave any missed recycling bins out from Monday 3 February and we'll come back for them as soon as we can. We're working to catch up as quickly as possible, but it's likely to be a couple of weeks before we're fully back to schedule with recycling collections.
We apologise for these disruptions and thank you for your patience as we work to catch up.
Please only contact us if it's essential. We're receiving a high volume of calls, but our staff don't have any additional information they can share
The safety of our employees and residents is our priority. That’s why we launched the Be Safe, Work Safe, Target Zero initiative last year to improve safety and reduce waste collection vehicle collisions across Barnsley to a target of zero.
