- Leave your bin out until it is emptied,
- Please do not contaminate recycling bins with non recyclable materials,
- Ensure all waste is contained within the bin and the bin lid is fully closed or it may not be emptied.
The gritting teams have continued to do a sterling job working around the clock always it seems in sub zero temperatures. So while we are all able to get or keep snuggly wrapped up in the warm they are out doing their stuff. Of course there are occasions, especially during fresh falls of snow that they cannot be everywhere at once, so keep on being patient. Tomorrow morning could be one such time as the BBC website is forecasting a heavy snow shower, the highest warning of snow they have given in the last 12 days.
As well as the BBC local forecast keep a check on the West Lothian Council updates on conditions and access.
Guess we've been quite lucky then, as our bins have been collected each week without fail. good work considering the state of our road.
ReplyDeleteThe link "sterling job working around the clock " is a little (!) disingenuous.

PRIMARY routes were being adressed bu NOT SECONDARY ROUTES. ie most householders in West Lothian's streets left to fend for themslves and in many cases no grit in bins .
Regarding the grey bins being emptied. Well i know the wheather has been bad ie roads ect. But our village in bridgend put our bins out on the 23rd of December. Its now the 12th of January and to our dismay the grey bins are still sitting out on the street. Yet the council could come up two weeks ago to empty the blue bins from our street. Our blue bins are due for up lift tomorrow and i guess our grey bins will sit for another week.Regarding taking household rubbish to the tips if the bin men cant come up and empty the bins due to road conditions i wonder how they expect us council tax payeys to take it to the tip. The roads have been clear for well over a week now as the thoughtful bin men were up on Friday and done one half of Bridgend but forgot about the place, the terrace the drive and willowdeen need i go on . Total Disgrace. I know the council are doing their best but i think it is totally out of order to leave grey bins sitting for 7 weeks out on a street. Bridgend resident.
