Bristol Waste have had to reduce some of their services during this difficult time. Details are below.
TRESA would like to thank the crews for continuing their important work for the city. We have designed a window poster for anyone who would like to send a thank you message to them as they go about their duties.
Household Reuse and Recycling Centres closed with immediate effect (Thursday 26 March)
Thanks to the dedication and commitment of our crews, we are ensuring all our essential waste and recycling services keep running smoothly. However, like many, we are currently operating with a reduced number of staff. In order to deliver our core services, such as refuse and recycling collections, some of our non-essential services are temporarily suspended.
From today our Household Reuse and Recycling Centres will be closed until further notice. To allow us to continue to deliver our essential services, garden waste collections are also suspended from Monday.
Bulky waste and bin delivery services suspended
From Tuesday 24 March our bulky waste and bin delivery services have been suspended to enable us to continue to deliver essential waste and recycling services.
If you do not currently have the correct bin or box, please follow the guidance below:
Black wheelie bin – any residual waste should be presented in tied bin bags and presented on your usual collection day.
Green box/black box/blue bag – Please continue to separate your items (cans & plastics, card, paper, glass) and place in untied bags. We will not be able to collect mixed bags of recycling.
Coronavirus waste
Please help keep yourselves and our crews safe by following the advice shared by Public Health England and DEFRA in relation to personal coronavirus waste, such as used tissues and disposable cleaning cloths. These items should be double-bagged, tied securely and kept separate from other waste for 72 hours, before being placed in your black wheelie bin.
Household Reuse and Recycling Centres closed
In the interest of the safety of the public and our crews, we have closed both our Household Reuse and Recycling Centres with immediate effect. Visiting a Recycling Centre is not included in the reasons for leaving home under the new government guidance.
Thanks to the dedication and commitment of our crews, our waste and recycling collection services continue to operate as usual. However, we would like to ask everyone to avoid placing extra strain on our services and delay projects which may generate additional waste or recycling. Where possible, we would also encourage residents to compost their garden waste at home.
Please continue to show your support for our crews by sorting your recycling properly and double-bagging and separating coronavirus related waste for 72 hours before putting it out in your black wheelie bin for collection.
