Compostable bins update – 4th January 2022

RDC crews are working extremely hard to continue to empty your bins but due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and some staff having to isolate there will be disruptions this week on the compostable collections.

The advice is to leave your bin out so that it can be emptied in the normal way, placed at the boundary of your property by 7am on your collection day. If they don’t pick up  your compostable bin as expected, please bear with them, and continue to present the bin, as they try to catch up.
