The council spokesperson said if you are due a collection of rubbish/recycling/garden waste please place your bin out for collection as normal.

They said, “Be assured that if your road is not collected on the scheduled day, they will be returning within the next few working days to catch up. For this reason, if your road is not emptied please leave the bin out ready for collection.

“To ensure your bins are emptied, please make sure they are placed out for collection by 6.30am on your scheduled collection day, or preferably the evening before.”
