The Council have now issued the following statement
“Due to exceptional operational problems there have been some delays with catching up with the re-scheduled collections, as detailed on this page (Council web site).
Recycling collections in Dunnington, Foxwood and Woodthorpe will take place as soon as possible this week. We apologise for any problems this has caused and can assure you that we are working hard to catch up with this work”.
Whether this means that the recycling will be collected as (re) scheduled on Tuesday remains to be seen. With the volume growing each hour this must be in doubt.
Meanwhile some terraced streets are now overwhelmed with full plastic bags leaving little room for cars to park.
Lockwood Street
The situation at some blocks of flats is even worse.
Our advice now is to put complaints in writing to the Council (Email: ycc@york.gov.uk)
If the situation deteriorates further then complaints can be made to the Local Government Ombudsman who can instruct the Council to pay compensation.
The Ombudsman can be telephoned on 0300 061 0614 or 0845 602 1983
