Councillor Moira-Ann Grainger, the council’s portfolio holder for neighbourhood and leisure, said: “This is a huge new contract and unfortunately, we have been hit with delays to our deliveries.
"I wanted to make sure we are keeping our residents up to date, and to reassure you that collections will continue, and you will get your new bins and caddies as soon as possible.
“We appreciate our residents’ patience and understanding as we work quickly to get this new service up and running. We’ll keep our website and social media updated on a regular basis to keep everyone informed.
