Refuse and Recycling collection update for Saturday 16 and Monday 18 January

The snowfall on Wednesday 13 January has caused disruption to the Council's new revised schedule. 

Disrupted collections on the schedule have almost been caught up so that from Tuesday 19 January all collections will be back to the Council's normal collection days. 

Saturday 16 January and Monday 18 January will still have amendments to the revised schedule detailed below.

The Refuse and Recycling Service arrangements for Saturday 16 January are detailed below.

• Verdant will be working to complete all of Saturday 16 January collections of refuse on the revised schedule, subject to weather conditions and access.
• They will be collecting green waste and recycling scheduled for Friday 15 January.
• The half of Stratford, where the normal collection day is a Thursday, will also receive a collection of green waste and recycling. 

The Refuse and Recycling Service arrangements for Monday 18 January are detailed below.

• All Monday collections of refuse, green waste and recycling are back to the normal schedule and will be carried out.
• The half of Stratford, where the normal collection day is a Friday, will receive a collection of green waste and recycling. 

The information above is still based on the new and revised schedule, which has replaced the Christmas schedule.

Because of the delays the crews will collect up to three additional sacks of waste during this catch up period only. Any additional waste needs to be securely tied in black bags and placed next to the bin.

Extra recycling side waste will also be taken, but this must be in a box or other suitable container not in a black sack.  

Again, Stratford District Council would like to apologise for the disruption to the current service and hope that residents bear with us and thank them for their patience during this spell of winter weather and be assured that we are committed to resuming a normal service as soon as possible.
