Bin collections
Bin crews have gone out this morning (Wednesday 20 January) and are continuing to work in the snow and are hoping to complete the rounds planned for today. If road conditions deteriorate, then we will give further updates.
This week all households in the borough are having both refuse and recycling collections on their normal collection day.
So remember to put both your grey and green bins out on your normal collection day, regardless of whether it would normally be your recycling collection week.
