Waste and Recycling – Severe Weather
We have received the following from NSC
Severe winter weather could impact recycling and waste collections if crews are faced
with icy conditions or snowy roads.
If collections are disrupted this winter, here is the advice to follow:
• General waste – put your black wheelie bin or waste sacks out on your normal
collection day. If not collected, leave it out and crews will be back as soon as
possible.
• Food caddy and recycling boxes – put these out on your normal day. If not
collected by 7pm, take them in and put them out again the following week on
your normal day.
• Garden waste – put out on your usual day. If not emptied, take them back in
then put out again the following month on your scheduled day.
How residents can help:
• put bins and containers out by 6.30am on your collection day
• please wash, squash and sort your recycling
• remove packaging from inside large cardboard boxes and flatten the
cardboard to the size of your recycling box
• extra general waste that doesn’t fit in your black bin won’t be collected and
should be taken to a recycling centre or stored until your next collection
• help neighbours who may have difficulties
• if collections are missed from a whole street, you can check for missed roads
