Earlier bin collections - week commencing 22 June 2026

Due to the high temperatures, our bin crews will be starting collections earlier than usual to help keep them safe in the heat. Please make sure your bins are out the night before, as collections will take place from 5am for the rest of this week. Thank you for helping our crews to work safely during the hot weather.
