Update on collections disruption caused by Industrial Action

Date published: 13th March 2023

The majority of rounds have been collected as normal today, despite the industrial action taken by members of Unison in a dispute over pay with Serco, the Council’s waste contractor.

We have seen disruption to collections in a small number of areas.

For those customers who have not had their collections on the scheduled day the following will apply until Monday 20 March:

Green bin (recycling):

Customers whose green bins were not collected on schedule today (Monday 13 March) should take bins back in, and present them again as per their next normal collection date, in two weeks' time.

Residents whose collections have not been collected, and as a result have more recycling than will fit in the bin, can present this at their next collection date in clear or transparent sacks.
 
If recycling is still due to be collected this week, please leave bins out in its normal collection point on the usual collection date.

Grey bin (refuse):

Please leave bins out in its normal collection point and crews will return for these as soon as possible.

Brown bin (garden waste subscribers):

Please leave bins out in its normal collection point and crews will return for these as soon as possible.

Trade waste customers:

Crews will complete the collection as soon as possible, from the normal collection point.
