Wheelie bin & recycling collections have been very patchy both today and yesterday.
Although refuse vehicles have been out throughout Southport, collecting left out wheelie bins where its reasonably safe to do so, lots of roads couldn’t be done. Still problems emptying the contents of the trucks at Foul Lane where they are only accepting a limited number of loads. Some refuse lorries parked up at the depot full of waste that can’t be got rid of.We’re told that a number of Sefton council street cleaners/refuse workers have had accidents/injuries over the last few days because of the conditions. In one case, a broken wrist.
The plan is to collect as many grey wheelie bins and recycling boxe as possible on the usual days next week and a black bag of rubbish, put by the side of the grey bin, will be collected because of the extra waste that’s been piling up since the snow dropped and bins haven’t been emptied.
The green recycling box teams have been out in areas of our town where they can collect reasonably safely. To catch up, they are going to delay picking up recycling material from schools for a while in order to concentrate on emptying boxes from households.
