Bin collections starting earlier this week

With high temperatures forecast for the rest of this week, our waste and recycling crews will be starting collections earlier than usual to help avoid the hottest part of the day.

Please make sure your bins are out the night before your collection day, or by 5:30am at the latest.

Our crews work incredibly hard to keep services running.

Thank you for your support and understanding as we take steps to help keep them safe during the hot weather.
