We're making progress in reducing the backlog of missed bin collections, and from Tuesday 28 January we’ll have additional resources working to help us catch up.

We’re continuing to prioritise grey bins. Please place both recycling and grey bins out from Tuesday 28 January and we'll come back for them as soon as we can.

Thank you for temporarily bringing your recycling in while the storm passed through. We know that strong winds have caused many issues with bins blowing over, and because of this we have additional resources from our Neighbourhood Services team working to clear up and will continue to do so over the weekend.

We apologise for these disruptions and thank you for your patience as we work to catch up.

Please only contact us if it's essential. We're receiving a high volume of calls, but our staff don't have any additional information they can share.

The safety of our employees and residents is our priority. That’s why we launched the Be Safe, Work Safe, Target Zero initiative last year to improve safety and reduce waste collection vehicle collisions across Barnsley to a target of zero. Read more about Be Safe, Work Safe, Target Zero.

We'll provide a further update on our plans on Monday 27 January.
