We would like to apologise to residents as our waste collection crews have been unable to complete collections on some streets this week.

Our crews will aim to return tomorrow to collect any missed bins. If your bin has not been emptied, please leave it out for collection.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

We also ask that you take extra care parking your vehicles on your collection day to ensure our drivers can travel down the streets and manoeuvre the waste vehicle safely - thank you!
