Rubbish collection

People 'fed up' as bins go uncollected for weeks

Residents' patience is starting to wear thin, according to one councillor.

Crews are struggling to catch up on overdue collections caused by recent snow and ice.

Beach Buddies Isle of Man's founder Bill Dale reflects on the group's 20 years of volunteering.

Bin stickers and annual waste fees have increased to help cover operational costs, say operators.

The city council apologises but says only a small number of households are unaffected.

Bosses at the service say the festive period is the busiest time of year for them.

Bristol City Council also voted to replaces thousands of black bins with sacks.

Councillors will decide whether black bin collections should move from fortnightly to three-weekly.

The change from a collection every fortnight to once every three weeks was introduced in September.
