Due to the hot weather, we'll start collecting bins from 6am on Monday 30 June and Tuesday 1 July. If your bin is due for collection, make sure you put your bins out the night before or no later than 6am on the day of collection.

Policy 24 - Access issues

Occasionally access cannot be gained to certain areas and streets. This may be due to:

road works
poorly parked cars
delivery vehicles
building works
overhanging branches
road closures

The collection crew will try a number of times to access a road, if they still cannot gain access, this will be reported to the council. The council will highlight these areas on their websites.

Where we have on three occasions attempted to gain access to area but were unable to do so we may make alternative arrangements to collect the waste. These may include (but not be limited to):

asking residents to use their own bags, and put out side waste on the next collection
arrange the delivery of sacks to properties to enable households to have sufficient capacity to last until their next scheduled collection day.
requesting residents to bring waste to a different collection point
