Important update on waste collections in our parish

TWBC emailed SPC today confirming temporary changes to waste collections as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. Please see below:

In response to the current situation we have had to make some changes to our recycling and waste collections and street scene services.

The collection crews have been working very had over recent days but a reduction in the number of staff available due to sickness and self isolation means that we have had to prioritise our services to focus on refuse, food, clinical and recycling collections. We have therefore suspended garden waste collections from today for the foreseeable future. We have posted about this on our social media platforms and the information is also going up on our website.

We are going to be emailing our garden waste subscribers and writing to those whose email addresses we don’t have. We are also emailing details of temporary changes to our recyling and domestic waste services. Please lick on the links below to see copies of these emails:

We are asking people not to contact us directly about their subscription; subscriptions remain in place, and we are keeping the situation under review and will be touch with residents regarding their subscription as soon as possible.
