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.
