Freezing temperatures are causing bin chaos across the district! With thermometers dipping below zero overnight, your bin could be frozen solid when collection crews roll up.
Check Your Bin Before Collection
Get up early on bin day and give your bin a test. Make sure the lid opens easily – or you might be waiting two weeks for a second collection.
Don’t Let Garden Waste Turn Into Solid Ice
Garden waste at the bottom of bins often freezes into a stubborn lump. Break it up with a garden fork before collection day to avoid delays.
Missed Collection? Here’s What Happens
If crews can’t empty your frozen bin, they won’t leave it half done. They’ll be back on your next scheduled collection day – two weeks later. So don’t let frost leave your rubbish piling up!
