Due to the snow and weather conditions there are currently disruptions to some of our services.

Bin collections

We expect bin collections to be disrupted this week, with the snow affecting safe access for our collection vehicles and for our crews.

If your bin is due for collection, please put it out as normal and we'll try to collect it if it's safe to do so.

If your bin has been missed, please leave it out and we'll return to empty it as soon as we can. Keep an eye on our disruptions to bin collections page for more details.

There may also be delays to our business waste collection service. If you're due a business waste collection this week, please put your bins out as normal and we'll empty them when we can do this safely.
