We want to remind residents who are subscribed to the garden waste collection service that we will be collecting your green bin(s) on a fortnightly basis again from next month (March).
Cllr David A Bithell, Lead Member for Environment and Transport, said: “We have been making garden waste collections on a reduced, monthly basis across December, January and February to free up staff to help us deal with problematic issues caused by the winter, such as gritting routes or general maintenance.
“As we move towards springtime – and hopefully towards some better weather – residents are more likely to be making use of their green bin(s), so these collections will revert back to being fortnightly from March onwards.”
