Difficult Access: most of our difficult access round was not completed. These properties are scattered across the above areas and are accessed by mainly private drives in rural areas.

Tuesday 21 December:

All our collection crews are out today. We have a relatively small amount to catch up and providing the weather holds or gets better we will make every attempt to catch up. However access will continue to be difficult to properties in rural areas and those with side roads on estates.

The message for residents is as follows

· Continue to leave any un-emptied bins outside your property so that they are there ready for collection when the vehicle is able to gain access.

· When your next collection is due place the appropriate bin outside and leave it there until they are emptied.

· When bins are emptied as part of the catch up arrangements all the household rubbish will be taken so do not worry leaving out any additional excess waste providing it is bagged.

· If you wish, take any excess refuse or garden waste to any of our Household Waste and Recycling centres. Further details of your nearest site can be found via our website.

· Please avoid using glass bottle recycling sites until the weather improves as the emptying of these has also been disrupted by the weather which could result in the banks becoming full. Hold back glass bottles and jars or take them to any of the Household Waste and Recycling centres.

Street Cleansing: teams are continuing to assist with gritting and salting of key areas in coordination with the Highways Authority - Hampshire County Council.

If you receive enquiries from the public concerning this matter, please advise them to leave out their bins until emptied or telephone Recycle for Winchester on 0800 008 6050 for advice.
