Sorry; missed recycling Fri19Feb Nick Cater February 19, 2021February 22, 2021 Latest News Friday 19 February 2021 – Coronavirus-linked staff shortages have led to missed recycling collections today Friday 19 February in and around Batcombe, Coleford, Cranmore, Nunney, Stoke St Michael, Wanstrow, Witham Friary in Mendip; Cannington, Nether Stowey, Spaxton in Sedgemoor; Castle Cary, Lydford On Fosse, Milborne Port in South Somerset; Cheddon Fitzpaine in Somerset West and Taunton. List of affected roads below (if missed elsewhere, report as usual after 7pm on due day via My Waste Services at somersetwaste.gov.uk). We regret that immediate return collections are not possible; please re-present recycling next Friday, 26 February, from 6am. Rubbish, garden waste, clinical and bulky waste collections are NOT affected. For more recycling space, flatten and tear up card; rinse, quash and put tops back on plastic bottles; rinse and – if safe – crush cans. Stack boxes with heavier above and locked food bin on top. If materials cannot be stored or would present a health or fire risk, all recycle sites are on their usual schedules for essential visits only, and can take all kerbside materials for recycling. The only exception is food waste, which should be double bagged and put in your rubbish, or added to the energy-from-waste skip at any recycle site. All recycle site details, including essential safety measures: somersetwaste.gov.uk/allatall/ Recycle checklist: somersetwaste.gov.uk/recycling-collections/ For extra free recycle containers, order them via My Waste Services at: somersetwaste.gov.uk Please observe all coronavirus safety advice for kerbside collections, including washing/sanitising hands before and after handing waste containers, disinfecting handles, and maintaining social distance from waste staff.
