Gales play havoc with the rubbish
Gales have caused hacoc with County Durham’s waste disposal activities, closing a number of landfill sites and waste transfer stations.
As a result the county has closed some of them, which means that the districts’ wagons cannot off-load their contents easily, or in some cases at all. When that happens the system just grinds to a halt.
Derwentside refuse collection teams managed to get all their loads off-loaded on Thursday and expect to keep working through Monday, but will have to keep the situation under continuous review whilst hoping that the weather improves.
If you want to keep an eye on the situation I am told that information will be posted on the council’s website at http://www.derwentside.gov.uk/
My understanding is that recycling waste is not affected.
have your say
