Waste and recycling collections
Following recent snow and freezing conditions, are crews have been out collecting waste and recycling where it is safe to do so. However, it may not be possible to access some ungritted roads and roads in rural areas.
If we did not collect from your home on Friday 2 January, and if we are unable to collect from your home on Saturday 3 January, please accept our apologies and leave your waste out. We will collect it as soon as possible, weather permitting.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
