The hot weather is continuing to have an impact on our waste and recycling collections.

Our crews have been working extremely hard in very challenging conditions, but the prolonged heat is affecting both staff and collection vehicles.
As a result, some bins have been missed and there may be further delays while these conditions continue. If your bin hasn’t been collected, please leave it out and we’ll collect it as soon as we’re able.

For full details and the latest updates, please see the Missed bins and service disruptions page.
