 We've had a tremendous response to our announcement that from the 4th of May there will be a phased reintroduction of the Green Waste Service. We really appreciate the many positive messages we've received and it's clear that most people understand that in reintroducing a guaranteed monthly collection and doing more when we can we are balancing the needs of providing a service with the safety of our staff. The monthly service will work like this. You'll have one guaranteed green bins collection a month and you could find out what your guaranteed collection days are on the bin collection calendar on the Southcams website. However if you put out your green bins on the other normal green and blue collection days our crews will empty them if they can. So you have the one monthly guaranteed collection but if you present your green bin a fortnight later it may be emptied then too. Throughout all this the blue and the black bin collections are unaffected. The National Guidance Outline for Waste Collection Services maintains social distancing measures. At this time each collection vehicle has a driver and one loader the loader being the crew member who loads the bins onto the lorry and this is rather than the usual driver plus two loaders. This ensures that there are enough space or there is enough space between staff in the lorry's cab when traveling to and from the collection points. It also means though that the more vehicles and crews are needed on any collection route. This is the reason why we can only offer a guaranteed monthly collection rather than a fortnightly one at this time. We really do appreciate your understanding on this and we hope we can get back to normal as soon as possible. Please stay safe and keep well.
