Bin collections have 'returned to normal' after weeks of chaos across the Havant borough
Bin collections have returned to normal
Residents across the Havant borough who have had weeks of missed and late bin collections have been told that the service has ‘returned to normal’.
It follows the decision of Havant Borough Council to suspend all recycling collections for a week in the south of the borough to allow bin crews time to catch up on the back log.
As previously reported by The News, bins have not been collected on time in many parts of the council’s area for more than a month, with collections constantly postponed and residents left with no idea when their bins will be collected.
A statement from Havant Borough Council said: “We would like to thank residents for their patience and understanding while recycling collections in Bedhampton, Broadmarsh, Brockhampton, Denvilles, Emsworth, Havant, Hayling Island, Langstone, Leigh Park, Warren Park, West Leigh and Warblington were temporarily suspended to allow crews to catch up on outstanding collections.
“We are pleased to confirm that all collections are now up-to-date and services have returned to normal.
“Our crews have worked hard to recover the service and clear the backlog as quickly as possible.
“We appreciate the support and understanding shown by our communities during this time, and thank everyone for their cooperation while we worked to restore services, and apologise for any inconvenience caused.
