Latest advice on bin collections in Northumberland


Bot

Updated at 11:50am on Tuesday 6 March 2018

Scheduled bin collections continue today - as teams aim to carry out normal collections wherever it is safe and possible to do so.  Please put your bin out as normal, unless your situation is described specifically below.

Many normal collections were made yesterday - although there were some areas, including rural locations, where this is not possible. Some collections were also missed due to unfortunate vehicle breakdown.

If your bin is not collected on the normal day this week please leave it out, in a safe place, and, weather permitting, we will attempt to collect it by the end of this week.

These will be kept under review and further guidance provided at the end of the week.

We will be prioritising general rubbish bins before recycling bins - due to the nature of the waste they contain.

Regarding bins missed last week:

If your general waste bin was missed last Wednesday, 28th February, please put it out for collection this Wednesday, 7th March, and again on Wednesday 14th March. Your recycling bin will not be emptied and should be put it out for collection on its next scheduled collection day of Wednesday 21st March

If your general waste bin was missed on Thursday 1st March please put this bin out next Thursday 8th March and again on Thursday 15th March. Your recycling bin will not be emptied and should be put it out for collection on its next scheduled collection day on Thursday 22nd March.

On general waste, we will accept up to two additional black bin bags (or something of a similar size) alongside regular general waste bins.

All missed recycling bins, including those which will not be collected this Wednesday and Thursday, should be put out on their next collection day.  Any additional recycling items can be put in cardboard boxes, paper bags, or clear plastic bags.

We are supplying clear recycling bags at our customer information centres and other venues at:

Customers who are expecting their first garden waste collection of the season this week should put their their bins out for collection on the scheduled day. Like general waste and recycling bins, we aim to undertake garden waste collections in all planned areas, where it is safe to do so. 

The council apologises for any inconvenience that these arrangements may cause. Many thanks for your patience during this time.
