By Extreme weather conditions forces bin collection adjustments
Due to the extreme heat expected to hit much of the country next week, bin collections have faced adjustments.
Next week will see several weather warnings sparked by unprecedented temperatures with some parts of the country expected to reach 40C.
Following the weather conditions, North Lincolnshire Council have confirmed there will be some changes to bill collections in the coming weeks.
In a statement, the council said:
“All the crews working Tuesday will now collect general waste to ensure they avoid the hottest part of the day – which is expected to be between 2pm and 4pm.
“General waste, as a priority collection, will be collected but the brown bins due to be collected on 19 July will now be collected on 2 August.”
The areas with re-arranged brown bin collections, which will be collected on Tuesday 2 August, are:
- Brigg
- Goxhill
- Kirmington
- Ulceby
- Thornton Curtis
- Worlaby
- North and South Killingholme
- Barrow and Elsham
“If you live in these areas please let your neighbours know,” the council added.
“We are sorry for any inconvenience but with unprecedented temperature predicted the safety of the hard-working refuse collectors – who walk up to 10 miles a round – has to be a priority.”
