Tewkesbury Borough Council will start taking bookings for its bulky waste collection service from Monday 11 May.
The
announcement comes a week after the garden waste collection service was
reinstated. Both services have been affected by staff shortages due to
the coronavirus pandemic, but now that staffing levels have become more
stable, the two services are back up and running again.
Customers who would like a bulky item collected from their home can call the council from Monday to arrange it.
Customers
are asked to only book a collection if the household has been clear of
Covid-19 symptoms for at least two weeks – this is to limit any spread
of the virus and to safeguard the collection crews’ health and
wellbeing. If symptoms in the household appear after booking a
collection, customers must call the council to rearrange it for two
weeks after the last day of symptoms.
Councillor
Jim Mason, lead member for clean and green environment, said: “Thank
you to all of our customers for understanding and bearing with us and
thanks to Ubico crews who are doing a fantastic job of managing waste
and recycling collections under very difficult circumstances.
“After
a challenging few weeks, I am pleased that staffing levels are more
stable and we are, once again, able to help residents dispose of bulky
waste.
