Changes to service

Our commercial waste collection service is undergoing some amendments to make the service run more efficiently. From Monday 17 August, customers receiving a general waste collection on a Saturday will move to a Tuesday or a Wednesday collection. Once the new round is established we can give you a definite collection day but until then we will collect either Tuesday or Wednesday.
