What you can do

You can help the council during this period by following this guidance:

• Regularly check this page on our website and our social media accounts for service updates and when collections will restart in your area,

• If your bin is not collected, please return it to your normal location, don’t put any bins, boxes, or bags out for collection until updates are advised,

• Use strong black bags for your waste,

• When separating your recycling, please try to flatten all cardboard, plastic bottles, and cans Store these to empty into the recycling bin when you can,

• Store waste sensibly securely and safely on your property,

• Consider bin sharing with your neighbours’ agreement. Help neighbours who may need support managing their waste and pass on this advice to those who may not have heard.

• Keep all food waste separate and in an enclosed container.

• Please do not take your waste to any other location as these will not get collected and could become a hazard.

• If a bin is full to overflowing, don’t use it, particularly for dog fouling. Please either use a bin that’s not full or take it home and double bag it to reduce smells.
