Green Bin Suspension - From today (30/03/20), green bin collections will be suspended. This is to allow us to prioritise more resource on emptying our black bins and mitigate the increasing risk of Coronavirus impact on our staff. You are advised to put food waste in your black bins during this temporary suspension period. We also ask that you present your black and burgundy bins for collection by no later than 6am on collection day as timings of collections are likely to change (i.e. when the vehicle normally arrives on streets) given we have placed extra resource in our black bin rounds. Please continue to recycle as much waste as possible through your burgundy bins.
