Update on Strike Action
Residents refuse (domestic waste) will be
collected today (16 July) as normal. We will reassess the situation
for tomorrow, but in the meantime we ask that residents whose
refuse collections are due to take place on Thursday to put their
bin out as normal.
As set out in contingency plans, residents who
would usually have their recycling collected today (16 July) and on
Thursday 17 July will have it collected in two weeks time. As this
will then be a four week collection all recycling put out will be
accepted.
Residents who use the council’s Garden,
Clinical and Special waste collection services have been contacted
directly to inform them of revised arrangements.
For other frontline services such as street
cleansing and litter collection, priority will be given to shopping
centres.
