Waste and recycling industrial action

There is currently industrial action by Unite the Union.

We have declared a major incident in the city to address the impact of the waste service industrial action.

We have a contingency plan using our limited resources to collect from all properties in the city once a week, but actions on the picket line have prevented us from doing this. More details about this are available to read.

We have also prepared a factsheet to respond to a number of issues in the public domain.

You can sign up for regular email updates about your bin collections.

We continue to work with Unite to try and resolve the dispute as soon as possible.
