FURTHER DISRUPTION OF HOUSEHOLD WASTE COLLECTION SERVICE LIKELY AS VIRUS BITES

 A WARNING has been sounded on the likelihood of continuing disruption of household rubbish collection in North East Lincolnshire.

This is because the bin staff have been hit by Covid.

Says Cllr Stewart Swinburn, portfolio holder for transport and environment: "Our staff are not immune from the virus. 

"Like most organisations, we are adapting what we do to keep services running during this period of uncertainty.

"Our crews will do all they can to keep rounds running as normal, but if staff must self-isolate to limit the spread of the virus, it could have a continuing knock-on effect."

An update for the situation today is as follows:

Green bins (household waste) – all rounds complete apart from a few streets near Weelsby Road.

Blue bins (paper and card) – missed collections in parts of Laceby.

Brown bins (garden waste) – missed collections in Nunsthorpe area.

Says the council: "If bins are not emptied in your street, please do not call us. 

"Put your bins out by 7am the next day and we will empty them as soon as we can."
