Refuse and recycling update

Date:  01 December 2009

80% of Friday's refuse and recycling collections were completed on Saturday (19 December) following the snow. After a review by refuse and recycling staff at 3am today (Monday 21 December), crews are out catching up in areas they couldn't get to on Saturday. Crews have also started their normal Monday collections. 
 
SnowCabinet member for public services and health, Phil Brading, said:
 
"The snow came unusually early and our recycling and refuse collection crews have gone beyond the call of duty. With more severe weather expected you can follow us on Twitter, see the home page of our website or ring us. We will do all we practically can to maintain the service during this weather."
