Great News on ... Bins!

"With the addition of crews from the private sector, we will be able to maintain blue recycling bin collections. Please clearly present your bins on your scheduled collection day. We will do our utmost to collect additional recycling; please place this in boxes or loosely bag it so that crews can see what has been presented. Please do not use black bin bags.

As with black bin collections, if your bin is missed please leave it presented for 48 hours and we will attempt to return and empty it. After this time, please take your bin off the street. You can put it back out on your next scheduled blue bin collection. "

the website also says they may be able to return for missed black bins.

"Collecting black bin and clinical waste remains our number one priority. We will continue to collect black bins and clinical waste on your normal collection schedule.

If your black bin is missed, please leave it out for 48 hours and we will do our very best to return to empty it. If after this time, your black bin hasn’t been emptied, please take it off the street until your next scheduled black bin collection.

We cannot collect any additional black bin waste left at the side of bins."
