Please see below planned update on bin collections subject to safety and access along routes:

➡️ 𝗗𝗢𝗪𝗡 𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗔: A catch-up service for missed black/brown bins will run in the Down area on Monday 27 January.

➡️Please leave your bin out for collection at kerbside from 6am. Where possible, secure your wheelie bin and once it has been emptied, please bring it back in again to avoid damage.
