Bin collections resume

Bin collections are taking place in the Pennines township today (Monday 11 January) following the cold snap.

Whilst the Council attempts to get collections back to normal as quickly as possible, only refuse waste (no recycling) is being collected today in Hamer, Littleborough, Milnrow, Newbold, Newhey, Smallbridge, Smithy Bridge and Wardle.

Weather conditions dictating, the council plans to collect for the rest of the week as per residents’ bin collection calendars.

Residents are asked to put the correct bin out from 7am on their scheduled day of collection. If residents are unsure which bin to put out this week they should call 0845 226 1800.

If any collections cannot take place due to ongoing weather conditions the council will attempt to implement other contingencies in the interests of getting bin collections back to normal.
