Fortnightly Coventry bin collections: when your household waste will be emptiedCoventry residents will have their green-lidded bins collected once every other week starting today.
Bin drivers will now only be on strike Wednesdays and Fridays and this will remain until March 23.
This means those who normally have their household waste collected on a Wednesday, will have it emptied on a Tuesday and those whose bins are taken on Fridays will have them taken on Thursdays.
But which area will have their bins collected when?
CoventryLive contacted Coventry City Council (CCC) to find out who would have their bin collections start this week (Tuesday, January 18 and Thursday, January 20) and who would have them start next week (Tuesday, January 25 and Thursday, January 27).
A spokesperson said they could not provide us with postcodes for the areas which will be collected when and said residents can check on their website -
http://www.coventry.govuk/bindays - or can call the contact centre or drop into their local library to find out.
"If the last collection you had before Christmas was recycling then your household waste bin will be collected this week," the spokesperson added.
"This means everyone who usually has a collection on a Tuesday or a Wednesday will be collected tomorrow, Tuesday. And everyone who usually has a collection on Thursday or Friday will have a collection on Thursday.
"If your last collection before Christmas was a household waste collection then your household (green lidded bin) will be collected next week – following the same pattern – collections for Tuesday and Wednesday on Tuesday and for Thursday and Friday on Thursday."
