COVID-19 rapid testing (if you don’t have symptoms)
If you can’t work from home or you’re a key worker you can now book a rapid COVID-19 test if you don’t have symptoms.
Waste collection services update - impacts of COVID-19
- most household collection services are operating on the normal collection dates, although a small number of recycling and organic waste collections may take place on the following day as crews catch up outstanding work. Please wait until the day after your normal collection before reporting a missed collection
- please help by making sure you put the right waste into the right bin. Clean recyclable material must go into the recycling bin (please flatten large items to take up less space) but these bins cannot be used for general waste. It will take longer than usual to clear contaminated recycling bins
- the bulky waste collection service is currently suspended, but completion of overdue collections is expected to start in the week commencing 25 January 2021
- the recycling centre remains open but you will need to book an appointment. Please check our website for COVID-19 precautions that are in place
You can find out more details of impacts and changes to services on the waste collection services update page.
