Severe weather service information

Large refuse collection vehicles suffer the same problems as other vehicles on icy roads, making it dangerous - for members of the public and our staff - to have these vehicles on the road.

During severe winter weather, assessments are made to establish if it's safe for collection and street cleaning crews to carry out their normal duties.

If there are no concerns, crews proceed with collection and cleaning duties where possible.

If necessary, we will put in place alternative arrangements and give advice on these pages about how people should deal with their waste.  If you need help to put your bin out during a spell of bad weather then you can call, email or write to us.
