Collections are likely to be delayed until September 29



Residents are being warned of delays to bin collections in Coventry. It comes as a major waste site closes for two weeks today (September 15).

When household bins are collected, the rubbish is usually deposited at the Waste to Energy Plant off London Road. However, the site will be closed for two weeks while routine maintenance is completed.

Crews will instead be taking household waste to a facility in Bubbenhall. Additional lorries will be used to minimise disruption over the two-week period.

Collections are likely to be delayed until Monday, September 29. If any bins are missed, they will be emptied the following day, according to Coventry City Council.

Bins used for recycling and garden waste will be unaffected. Residents can check their scheduled collection days by visiting the Coventry City Council website and entering the name of their road.

A spokesman for Coventry City Council said: “When household waste bins are collected, the waste is taken to the Waste to Energy Plant off London Road. Every two years, the site closes for routine maintenance for two weeks.

“It means that green-lidded bin collection rounds may take longer than usual. We will provide additional drivers and vehicles to help prevent disruption, but some residents may not get their household waste emptied on their scheduled day.

“Residents are asked to leave their missed bins out, and crews will return the following day to ensure they are emptied. Check your scheduled collection days on our website at http://www.coventry.gov.uk/bindays.”
