Elton, Derbyshire

The Coronavirus outbreak continues to impact waste collections across the Derbyshire Dales. This is due to a reduction in collection crews as a large number are self-isolating due to underlying health reasons.

For this reason, the following changes have been made to the way your waste will be collected for the foreseeable future.

• Garden waste collections (green bins and sacks) have been suspended until further notice.
• Food waste (food caddy) will now be collected fortnightly along with your general household waste (grey bin or black sacks).
• Whilst crews and resources are limited, there will be a focus on collecting general household waste. This could mean your recycling (blue bins, boxes and bags) might not be collected at all.
• If your recycling waste is not collected, please return it to your property and store it as best you can. Please do not attempt to log a missed collection with the District Council as the phone lines are jammed.
• If your recycling waste is not collected I will let you know when it will be collected if there is a chance this will be before the next scheduled collection date.

Please get in touch if you have any questions or comments about your waste collection or any other matters.
