“The bag should be put in a suitable and secure place, away from children, for 72 hours.
“After waste has been stored for 72 hours it can be placed in the normal general waste bin.
“Please do not put your waste in communal waste areas until negative test results are known or the waste has been stored for at least 72 hours.
“Please help our crews by giving bin handles a wipe down after you place your bin out for collection.”
