UPDATE |
|
|
| Sorry fresh snow has made collection to
hazrdous.
We collected recycling from areas we judged
likely to be safe on Monday and Tuesday;
boxes/recycling left out were taken from
these areas.
As soon as conditions allow we send crews
out. Decisons on where we collect from are
often made as the vehicles are leaving the
depot and may change if collectors decide
routes are not safe.
We will get your recycling as soon as we can.
