Heatwave bin collections: Gedling borough residents asked to put their bins out by 6am

Due to the forecast heatwave

Households in Gedling borough are asked to present their bins by 6am on their usual day of collection in the remainder of this week, following the warning for extreme heat issued from now to Sunday.

Gedling Borough Council’s refuse crews will be starting their shifts earlier this week to beat the heat which means bins will be collected earlier on the day than usual.

Doing so will help protect the wellbeing of the waste crews, by allowing them to carry out their rounds in the cooler hours of the day.

Highs of 31 degrees Celsius are predicted for the county and the Met Office advises in its extreme heat Amber warning this week that some changes to working practices and daily routines are likely to be required.

  1. If you turn up before 7am, disturbing those still asleep with banging and clanking and high pitched whining noises there will be some complaints. I don’t give a hoots how warm it is, you have no right to disturb slumber, even emergency services cannot have sirens howling between 11 till 7, yet you inconsiderate rpthink it’s ok to wake people just after 6? Some folk will still be sleeping. Would you like it?

    • Rip van winger more like. If your bin is not collected you would be in the phone in 10 seconds flat. These are exceptional circumstances. You clearly have no respect for GBC staff & their health. They do a difficult & dangerous job as well as filthy in normal circs. You are a disgrace.
