From Chrishall Parish Council based upon UDC announcements
There will be no further bin collections in Chrishall this week.
Residents are asked to remove your bins from the roadside until next week, please.
Next week should be a non-recyclable collection (black bin) as per the normal schedule followed by recyclable (green) bins from the week commencing 12/2/2024.
Garden waste collections have yet to be rescheduled.
Here follows the announcement from UDC as of 31 January 2024
As promised yesterday (30-1-2024), we have restarted domestic waste collections today, with bins emptied at homes in Hatfield Heath, Great Hallingbury and Woodlands Park, Dunmow, as well as commercial premises across the district. Although there is a long way to go, I do think it important to recognise this important progress, and we are immensely grateful to colleagues in other companies and neighbouring councils for their mutual aid in our time of need – as I am to our staff who are working their socks off on this.
We will be in Little Hallingbury and Hatfield Broad Oak tomorrow morning (1-2-2024), before moving on to Thaxted. As they did today (31-1-2024), a team of staff will be out ahead of the lorries ensuring as far as possible the correct bins are out ready for collection, which really helps give the best coverage we can in this period of disrupted schedules and bins being collected on different days to those residents are used to.
We are not currently running as many lorries as we would normally so please bear with us. We are working hard to increase capacity over the coming days – yesterday two trucks, today four, tomorrow six. I will know and share Friday’s vehicle number and rounds tomorrow (1-2-2024). We will also be working the extra shifts on the weekend to get round as many bins as possible.
We will not be collecting any recycling bins (green) or garden waste this week. Recycling collections will restart from week commencing 12 February. A further update on garden waste collections will be provided in the next few days.
Once again, we apologise for the inconvenience this has caused to you and your residents and thank you for your patience as we work to get the service back on track. I’ll update you on progress in reissuing our own licence as soon as there is news, though from our contacts today, we remain grateful to the Office of Traffic Commissioner for all their ongoing hard work on our case.
