Tamworth Borough Council have apologised for those whose bins weren’t collected today, but it was simply unsafe due to the ice on the roads.

Treasure Castle, Castle Close and Torc Avenue didn’t get their recycling collected and houses in Trefoil and Sorrel didn’t get their garden waste collected.

Collections will continue though where it is safe for the lorries to go.

All other Council services and offices are operating as normal at the moment.

All collections not made will be done when it is safe to do so.

Accompanying the new Blue Bins, Tamworth Borough Council have also issued the new collection timetable.  As you will see, recycling collections are now to be carried out every fortnight alongside the garden waste (green bin).  Refuse collection (Black bin) continues on the alternative week.
