Bins and Recycling
There will be no change to recycling, refuse, green waste, food waste or nappy waste collections.
Please leave all items for collection on the kerbside (no earlier than 7pm the day before collection) and we will do the rest.
For more information on your collection days and what you can and cannot put out for collection, please visit the Bins and Recycling service
Our Community Recycling Centres are open as usual all weekend, and you can drop off items not included in kerbside collections.
Social Care
There are currently no planned changes to the services offered by our social care staff.
Remember that if you have an urgent or emergency issue, you can contact expert advisers in the Council’s Contact Centre 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week on 01443 425011.
Cemeteries and Bereavement Services
There are currently no changes in place for Cemeteries and Bereavement Services.
There are sometimes exceptional circumstances when we have to close the cemeteries to vehicles at short notice.
If it is necessary to close a cemetery to vehicles, a notice is placed on the Cemetery gates advising the public. As soon as it is safe to do so the Cemetery gates are opened to vehicles.
The cemeteries can be accessed by pedestrians when closed to vehicles but we would urge people to exercise caution when visiting our cemeteries in adverse weather and to ensure they wear appropriate clothing and footwear to avoid falls and injury.
