This is the message I’ve received from the Council:

“Our contractors, Solutions SK, are doing everything they can to collect the borough’s recycling & refuse in the adverse weather.

This advice is given at 17.21 on Friday 8th January 2010 and remains valid provided there is no further deterioration in weather conditions (more snow) over the weekend and before operations commence at 07.00 hours on Monday 11th September 2010.

We are again asking residents to place all their recycling and refuse out at the front edge of their property by no later than 7am on the day of their collection. Each road that is due for collection on Monday will be assessed and if at all possible a collection will be made as normal.

There will be some roads that we cannot safely collect from. Where we are not able to safely collect we are asking residents to take their recycling and refuse containers back in and put them out on the next scheduled collection.

When we are able to safely collect residents refuse and recycling, we will collect any excess recycling that is put out.

Any extra recycling should be placed in carrier bags (not bin bags) next to your wheelie bin or recycling box. Refuse, as normal, must be placed out for collection in securely tied sacks to prevent spillage.”
