COVID-19 - Waste Collection
During COVID-19 we will continue to collect your Wheelie Bin and for those who don't have wheelie bins and use Council-issued purple bin bags these will continue to be collected as normal.
We have introduced staggered starts for our collection crews to keep them safe. We have limited the number of collection crews in our refuse collection vehicles and have loaders travelling in separate vehicle to ensure that we are complying with social distancing measures.
You can help during this difficult time by continuing to ensure your bin is out by the earlier time of 6.00am on the day of collection.
With the current covid-19 pandemic still affecting our everyday lives we are working hard to provide the best possible service, with everyone's health and safety remaining the top priority.
By following these simple steps you are not just protecting yourself but also protecting our frontline workers:
- Clean bin handles with disinfectant before and after collection
- Bring your bin back in immediately after collection to help keep pavements clear and support the 2 metre physical distancing advice.
