Due to Storm Eowyn we were unable to empty most household bins today. Please store your bins safely for the rest of the day, and overnight, while the weather warning is in place.
Residents who had general waste bins out today should put them back out for Saturday morning and we'll be back to empty them. Unfortunately we won't be able to return for mixed recycling and brown bins so residents whose week it was for those should put them out again on their next scheduled bin day. We apologise for the inconvenience.
