Trash collection has resumed at the West End today, and should be finished with help from Highways section crews, who will also pick up Christmas trees in the west of the Island tomorrow.

“Collection crews with assistance from the Highways section crews will be undertaking garbage collection in the East tomorrow and anticipate that collection will be completed by the evening on Friday,” a Waste Management spokesman said.

The Department is still encouraging the public to take household waste, recycling and bulky items to the Tynes Bay Public Drop Off facility, which will be open until 7pm. It will be open again from 7am to 7pm tomorrow.

The Airport Waste Management Facility and Marsh Folly Composting Facility are open to accept bulky metal waste and horticultural waste respectively.
