"Some recycling collections will be running a day behind this week, but our crews will be working over this weekend to try and catch up.

"If your waste hasn't been collected by the end of Sunday, it will be collected on your next scheduled collection day.

"There's no need to contact us, our teams are aware of where work is outstanding and they're implementing a service disruption catch up plan. We're really sorry for the inconvenience - our crews will be with you as soon as possible."
