Bin strikes: Dumfries and Galloway expects ‘significant’ issues

“Unless the industrial action is called off, no household – general waste, recycling and food – bins or sacks will be collected on the strike dates,” it said.

“Commercial waste collection will be impacted, too.

“The bulky uplift service will not be operational during this time.

“Some of our 12 Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) across the region will also be affected.”

It has set up a dedicated web page for the issue., external

“We understand the impact and inconvenience this will cause and thank customers for their patience,” the council added.

“Please check our webpage and our social media accounts for updates.

“As soon as we have further information, we will share it.”

Dumfries and Galloway Council came in for criticism last year over the lack of bin collection over the Easter weekend.

It prompted hundreds of adverse comments on a local authority Facebook post highlighting the issue.

The council pledged to improve communications about the “extremely important service” in order to avoid any repeat of the problems.
