Binmen have arrived in the Woodthorpe area this morning (Saturday) to empty grey bins. Some of the bins haven’t been emptied for 18 days.

According to the Council web site, recycling collections won’t generally take place until Tuesday for those that were missed on 1st January. However a separate “twitter” statement issued by the Council promises that recycling collections teams will be “working over the weekend”.

Meanwhile some sub-urban recycling banks are now full to overflowing adding to the litter drift which is threatening to engulf some parts of the City.
