UTTLESFORD District Council is reminding residents that new waste rounds are now in operation – and the collections crews are working longer days.

This means that residents may find their bins are being collected later than previously as the crews are working until 5pm on the new rounds.

The council requests that residents DO NOT ring on their collection day if they believe their bin has been missed as it is probably the case that the crew has just not got to their property yet.

Any resident who finds their bin has not been collected by the evening should contact the council the following day to arrange a return visit for collection.
