Elmbridge Council has apologised for missed bin collections after the recent change of contractor.

Bins missed last week (commencing June 5) will not be collected until the next time they are scheduled to be.

Residents are asked to put the bin out at the normal time; excess waste will also be taken as long as it is in a container or bag.

If your bin has been missed today, visit elmbridge.gov.uk/news tomorrow for an update.

A statement on the council website said: “With 55,000 homes in the borough it is a complex operation and we hope residents will bear with us while we sort out these teething problems.”
