UPDATE 1400 hours – Bins ARE now being emptied in Askham Lane, Chapelfields and Woodthorpe (which was also missed yesterday)
The Council web site now includes the following comment –
Waste Collection Services Update
A comprehensive review of waste collection rounds has been carried out and some service changes were implemented on 9th September 2013.
Our collection crews are working hard to ensure your waste is collected on the scheduled collection date. Please help us by ensuring your bin is presented before 7.00am on the date of collection.
Whilst the new collection rounds are settling down there will be instances when some properties are missed. We are sorry that on Wednesday 11th September some properties in the following areas did not have their collection on the scheduled day:
• Rubbish collection (black bin) – Acomb & Boroughbridge Road
• Garden waste (green bin) – Holgate & Acomb
We will return to these properties to make collections by the end of the next working day.
The Council have admitted that there are “bedding in” problems with the new refuse bins emptying arrangements.
Askham Lane – late Tuesday
That rather understates the issues faced by 100’s of residents who now don’t know when their bins will be emptied.
The Council web site was down yesterday and delays of around 5 minutes have been reported by residents trying to ring the Council help line.
