Severe cold weather, icy conditions or heavy snow can disrupt bin collections, street cleansing and other services. We will update you on any disruptions.
Residential streets
We aim to sweep all residential streets at least once a week, usually on the same day we collect your bins.

In Autumn, we sweep roads more often to deal with heavy leaf fall.
Check how often we clear roads during leafing season.
