Due to temperatures expected to rise further on Monday & Tuesday, Bucks Council's collection crews will start from 6am to #BeatTheHeat & stay safe during the heatwave.
You're being advised put your bins out the night before or bright and early by 6am on your bin day for all of next week.
If your bin isn't emptied on your normal collection day, please leave it out for collection as they may be running behind due to the heat.
Councillor Gareth Williams is Buckinghamshire Council’s Cabinet Member for Environment and Climate Change. He said:
“Obviously we don’t want bins being left on hot days in an ideal world, but we have to put the safety of our crews first and if it gets too hot for them to work, we may fall slightly behind our usual schedule. We hope to minimise this by starting early every day next week (w/c Mon 18 July). If your bin is not collected when expected, we will pick it up at the earliest opportunity.
It’s pleasing to see cooler temperatures forecast further into next week so we hope any delays are kept to an absolute minimum – and we will do our best to catch up as quickly as possible if collections are held up. I’m sure residents appreciate the need to put the health and wellbeing of our crews first and we thank them for their patience and understanding.”
