IMPORTANT NOTICE
ARRANGEMENTS FOR
BLACK, BROWN & GREEN BIN COLLECTIONS
ST. PATRICK’S DAY, WEDNESDAY, 17TH MARCH 2010
Customers normally scheduled for GREEN BIN collection on Wednesday March 17th (St Patricks Day) will have their GREEN BINS collected on the previous Saturday March 13th 2010. This applies to all customers with a W6 collection calendar- your calendar reference code is located at the bottom right of the calendar. Please place all bins out on or before 7am on collection day.
We regret that due to an escalation in industrial action in the public sector the Council will not be able to provide a BLACK or BROWN bin collection service on Saturday 13th March next in lieu of the collection that would have been due on St. Patricks Day, Wednesday, 17th March. Customers next scheduled bin collection after St. Patricks Day will therefore take place on Wednesday 24th March as per their collection calendar.
We sincerely regret the inconvenience this will cause to our valued customers and thank your for your continued support.
