- Bins update
All our waste and recycling vehicles were out attempting to collect from as many houses as possible that were due collections today.
The crews have collected from most streets. Unfortunately, there were some streets we were unable to collect from due to the snow and ice.
We will come back on Saturday, 2 February and collect grey bins from these streets that were missed today: Broomfield Street, Caledonia Street, Cambria Street, Clare Bank, Constance Road, Gilnow Lane, Lorne Street, Mercia Street, Merrion Street, Newton Walk and Roland Road.
Any missed recycling bins, green bins and food waste containers will be collected on your next scheduled collection.
