Pharmacy needle exchange
Early collections due to hot weather
Waste collections may start from 5am this week (27 to 31 July) to avoid crews working in the hottest part of the day.
Please make sure your bins are out by 5am on your usual collection day - put them out the night before if you can. Report missed collections as usual, and we'll aim to collect as soon as possible.
