As you probably know, most of the UK is expecting wintery weather this weekend, with some potential snow, frozen rain and icy conditions forecast.
If ‘frozen rain’ occurs there will be ‘black ice’ on surfaces. This is extremely hard to predict, freezes clear and is especially hazardous for pedestrians.
We’ll be keeping an eye on the weather and our gritting teams will be out treating surfaces where appropriate.
Bin collections
For this week additional recycling will be taken if in suitable containers.
Due to the high volume of waste we are collecting, we are having to finish some rounds ahead of collecting all the recycling and waste. Rest assured after emptying our collection (or recycling and refuse) trucks we will return to collect the remainder (please ensure that recycling is secure from the wind).
As January 1 was a bank holiday, recycling and refuse pick-ups for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are a day later this week. So if you usually have a pick up on Friday, this will be on Saturday this week.
Should the weather impact this we’ll give as much advanced notice as we can. You can check your bin collection date on our website.
