Shropshire Council say residents who have subscribed to their new garden waste scheme should put out their bins as usual this month after high demand caused a backlog in their bin-sticker system.
Over 49,000 people have now signed up for the council’s £56-a-year garden waste collection service, but some residents are still waiting to receive a sticker for their bin which will ensure it’s collected as part of the scheme.
The authority says it’s taking longer than anticipated to send out some of the tamper-proof labels due to the high levels of demand for the service, which opened to subscriptions during the first week in September. However, the council says that while not all stickers may arrive by the time first collections take place under the new scheme next week, residents who have subscribed to the service will have their garden waste collected as normal on this occasion.Barrier repair set to be complete by 'end of financial year' after council fails to get driver to pay for damage
