Bath and North East Somerset Council have advised that recycling collections across the B&NES area continue to be disrupted, after staff at their recycling contractor Kier began industrial action in the form of an overtime ban.
As a result of this, if you were due to have your recycling collected on Saturday 2nd January there may still be some disruption to your recycling and food waste collections.
If your recycling and food waste was scheduled for Saturday 2nd January and has not been collected, put it back out for collection today (Tuesday 5th January).
Yesterday’s scheduled collections (Monday 4th January) did not happen. The public are advised to hold onto your recycling and food waste and put it out for collection on Monday 11th January.
Local recycling centres at Keynsham, Old Welton and Bath are open Monday – Friday 8am – 4.15pm.
Facilities to recycle all of the materials collected as part of the kerbside recycling collections, including food waste are available at all three sites.
In a statement, B&NES Council said: “On behalf of our contractor we apologise sincerely for any inconvenience caused.”
