Households which have not received it by the time of their collection can continue to use your red boxes to present the recycling.

There is no need for it to be sorted for it to be collected.

Those who have their blue-lidded bin but have extra recycling can use their red boxes to put out the extra recycling.

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.

“We know that not everyone has access to the internet, so would ask you all to check in with your neighbours to keep them updated and let them know what is happening.”
