A message from the City Council:

“Cambridge City Council has cancelled collections of green bins for Monday 21^st and Tuesday 22^nd January. These bins will be emptied on the next scheduled collection day in two weeks time.

On Monday all bin collections were suspended because of unsafe conditions on roads and pavements, with only a small number of black bins collected on main routes.

Executive Councillor for Environmental and Waste Services, Cllr Jean Swanson said, “We understand that it may be frustrating for some residents that we have had to cancel collections of green bins. However, it does mean that we can use the green collection vehicles to help us catch up on Monday’s blue and black bin collections. At this time of year, we feel these need to be the priority.”

The council’s advice for residents is to put black and blue bins out for collection as usual, and if they are not emptied on the collection day, put them back out the following day until they are emptied.”

Update Tuesday 22nd:

“Green bin collections for Wednesday have now been cancelled as well as those from Monday and Tuesday. All crews will continue to work on catching up any outstanding collections of black and blue bins from Monday and Tuesday, as well as carrying out Wednesdays collections, where possible.

The advice to residents is if their black or blue bin doesn’t get emptied on their collection day, please take it back in and put it out again on the following days until it is emptied. Crews will revisit outstanding areas on a daily basis to try to access.”
