Adverse weather conditions

The collection crews work hard in all weathers to try and complete their collection routes and it may take a little longer for them to reach you.  During severe weather conditions, please continue to put your bin and/or clear sacks out on your scheduled collection day by 7am and the crews will collect as soon as possible.  If your bin and/or clear sacks have not been collected by the end of the day, please leave them out as the crews will be working to catch up as soon as the conditions improve.

If bad weather hits us, updates will be posted on these pages as necessary.
