A bin collection crisis has been averted in Bolton! But here's where it gets controversial...
Bolton Council is taking action to ensure all bins are emptied this weekend, sending out additional teams to tackle any remaining missed collections. This comes after a series of disruptions last week, leaving many residents frustrated and their bins overflowing.
In a statement, the council acknowledged the patience of its residents and assured them that their teams were working tirelessly to complete all scheduled collections. "Additional teams will be deployed tomorrow to ensure no bin is left behind," the council promised.
But why were bins missed in the first place? Well, there are a few common reasons:
- Bin not put out: If your bin is on private land or within your property's boundary, it might be missed.
- Lid not closed: A simple oversight, but an open lid can lead to missed collections.
- Obstacles: Skips, parked cars, or roadworks can block access, preventing collection.
- Weather: Snow, ice, or flooding can make collections challenging.
If your bin is missed and none of these reasons apply, the council encourages residents to contact them promptly. By doing so, the council can arrange for the bin to be emptied within two working days.
So, Bolton residents, keep an eye out for those extra teams this weekend! And remember, a little extra effort goes a long way in keeping our community clean and green.
