Tractors are among the Swansea Council vehicles that have been out and about retrieving waste that wasn’t collected after the recent snowfall.
The disruption caused by the weather has led to collections becoming a day behind and so the Council is urging residents to put their waste out for collection the day after their normal collection is supposed to occur.
Ian Whettleton, Swansea Council’s Divisional Manager for Waste Management, said: “We are back on the roads collecting following the initial snowfall. It does mean we are a day behind but we are doing everything we can to ensure waste is collected.
“We are at the mercy of the weather and any more snowfall or freezing conditions could create more of a backlog. At the moment we are aiming to keep collections to no more than a day behind.
“Residents need to put their waste out for collection the day after their normal collection day. So if you have your waste collected on Tuesday it will now be collected on Wednesday.”
