Bin collection - new arrangements

From Monday 11th January, weather permitting Wigan Council is attempting an emergency bagged collection using smaller vehicles. These vehicles will transport the bagged waste to the refuse wagons at location points positioned within Monday's collection areas. To make you aware of these location points please see attachment. Please note this information relates to Monday's collections only, I will publish the relevant information for Tuesday's collections on Monday 11th January.


To assist collections from properties where the Council would normally collect from the rear of these properties it would be of great help if residents could place their bagged waste, if feasible, at the front of their properties as oppose to the back. This would greatly assist the teams in accessing as much bagged waste as possible, as the backs to these properties are very treacherous under foot.

I am a little confused, we where told to put our two bags at the end of our street, your notice suggests that we have to take them to a collection point? Can you please clarify.

PS I have just seen the bin collectors at Woodedge with no bags to collect, as I assume like me they thought that they had to put the bags at the front of their property?
