Due to the upgraded Amber Weather Warning for persistent heavy snow (areas above about 150m will likely see 15-30cm/6-12inches) from Saturday evening through all day Sunday, LLC made the difficult decision to postpone the bin collections due to be made on Sunday (5th). Side waste will be allowed for green bin/recycling collections so long as it’s bagged and not loose
The collections that were due to made on Sunday 5th January will now be made a week later on Sunday 12th January instead.
This will ensure that LCC are able to collect all those bins, most of which will be extra full at this time of the year and helps avoid knock on effects for other days too next week. It also takes 60 LGVs off the roads during what is forecast to be dangerous driving conditions.
