BIN COLLECTION PROBLEMS

Because many people are working from home and self-isolating there are far more cars parked in the streets than normal. This has resulted in access being blocked to bin men which has resulted in some bins not being emptied. Erewash Borough Council has said: “Please park considerately. If our bin lorries can’t get down your street, they can’t empty your bins. Some bins in the following Long Eaton streets have been missed due to parked cars blocking access: Sandford Avenue (6 onwards); Friar Street (bottom half); and Gladstone Street. Bins have also been missed at Buller St, Ilkeston due to parked cars.”
