The council has asked for residents to continue to put bins out for collection on the normal collection schedule.

They are asking residents to leave bins out with the lid fully closed before 7am on collections day and park all vehicles responsibly.

The bin should not be too heavy and the lid must be closed.

The council has said that no additional waste will be collected if not in the bin.
