Disruption Means Bins Need To Be Out Early

Redditch residents are being urged to put their bins out early as crews face a detour along their routes in August.

Because of resurfacing works being carried out at the transfer site in Bromsgrove, where the recycling and garden waste is taken to be collected by Severn Waste on behalf of Worcestershire County Council, alternative facilities in Pershore and Redditch will be used.

This means certain routes will take longer to navigate and will affect the collection of domestic, garden and recycling waste.

Residents are urged to put bins out the night before their usual collection in case the crews are earlier than usual.

And please check if neighbours’ bins have also been emptied before reporting a ‘missed bin’ as crews may also be running later than usual too.

Redditch Borough Council Leader Cllr Sharon Harvey, whose portfolio covers Environmental Services, said: “Our main aim is to ensure that we empty your bins and our crews will be doing their utmost to make this happen.

“Please help us too by putting your bins out earlier than usual so we our collection service can run as smoothly as possible.

“Thank you for bearing with us.”

The works are set to take place throughout the whole of August. Please check the Council’s website and social media for updates
