Wheelie bin thefts

Good Morning Resident,

This message is sent just to remind people to retrieve their emptied bins as soon as practicable ,unfortunately a resident in the Olive Lane area has had both their burgundy general waste bin and their blue paper recycle bin taken after being emptied and possibly taken by another resident in the locality ,this has left the victim with no bin to store both general waste and recycling until a replacement can be provided by the local council   .

We also get reports of bins being stolen and then set on fire on the local parks around this time of year in the run up to bonfire night ,so please try to ensure that the local youths don't have access to any bins in the area by ensuring yours is returned to your property and the access is secure to the rear of your property or wherever your refuse bins are stored.

Thank you for taking the time to read this
