Weather affecting waste collections.
FRom Shropshire Council
Veolia are experiencing disruption with waste collections this week due to the cold weather conditions. This is affecting all areas of the county, particularly in higher rural area but, includes issues with some streets in the towns.
Please convey the following message to any residents that may contact regarding this.
There are limited waste and recycling collections this week due to weather conditions, and we’ll be monitoring the situation throughout the days.
Please make sure that you:
Leave your refuse bin out. If we can’t get to you on your scheduled collection day, we’ll come back and collect it as soon as it’s safe to do so.
Leave your garden waste bin out. We’ll collect it we can but some collections may not be possible until the next collection day.
Leave your recycling bin / boxes and blue sacks out (as long as they don’t present a trip hazard). We’ll collect them as soon as it’s safe to do so.
If the collection crew have attempted to empty your refuse bin but the contents are frozen, they will not be able to return. Side waste will be accepted on your next collection day.
If you receive any negative feedback regarding delayed garden waste collections, please forward these to wastemanagement@shropshire.gov.uk and I will contact the resident.
