Unite is holding industrial action within B&NES Council’s Waste and Recycling Service in relation to the local government national pay award.
There may also be disruption at the recycling centres in Midland Road, Bath and Midsomer Norton.
In a statement, the council said: “We are working hard to minimise any disruption so please put your recycling/garden waste or refuse waste out as usual.
“For recycling and rubbish collections if we have been unable to collect we will not be able to return later in the week.
“Please take your bins/boxes back in and present them again on your next scheduled collection, we will collect additional waste/recycling if placed alongside.”
“We apologise for any inconvenience.”
Residents are being encouraged to check the local authority’s waste disruption page next week for any updates, including garden waste collection arrangements and opening hours for recycling centres.
