The council said there had been “technical problems” with the new specialist vehicles that collect the food waste, and issues with collection crews adjusting to the new process. <\/p>\n
Ashton said: “We are frustrated by this, but we are working hard to resolve the remaining issues and ensure our residents understand what they can expect during this bedding-in period.”<\/p>\n
He continued: “So, by providing reassurance that residents will receive a fortnightly food waste collection service, as a bare minimum during these early stages, we can provide some certainty for the time being.”<\/p>\n
The council advised residents to bring their caddies back from the kerbside if they were not collected and put them out on their assigned day the following week. <\/p>\n
It added that there was no need to report the missed collection. <\/p>\n
The council stressed this was a temporary measure, but it could only guarantee a food waste collection every two weeks for the time being. <\/p>\n
It said that if the large caddy became full, residents could place the extra food waste in their general waste bin for collection. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The council said there had been “technical problems” with the new specialist vehicles that collect the food waste,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":631730,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1397,90,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-631729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-environment","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=631729"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631729\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/631730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=631729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=631729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=631729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
