The extreme heat today (Monday 25 May) has affected some of our recycling collections, and unfortunately we’ve been unable to collect all plastic and cardboard. This is because high temperatures can impact the mechanism in our vehicles that processes these materials.

 

We’re working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

 

If your plastic and cardboard haven’t been collected by 6pm today, please bring them back in and put them out again on your next scheduled collection day.

 

To help keep everyone safe in the heat, our crews will be starting earlier tomorrow (Tuesday 26 May), from 5am. Due to the forecast heat, this approach will remain in place for the rest of the week, and some disruption to collections may continue.

 

We’ll continue to share updates on our social media channels—thank you for your understanding.
