Bin collections in the hot weather
From now until the end of July, our crews will be going out earlier than normal to collect your bins. Please make sure they are out by 6am on your collection day.

Supporting local wildlife projects
We are unable to offer memorial benches or trees outside of cemeteries. However, we have started a Biodiversity Memorial Fund if you would like to support local wildlife projects in memory of a loved one.
You can contribute towards initiatives such as hedge planting, pond creation, installing swift nest boxes, and developing wildflower meadows. Our annual Biodiversity Projects Report will recognise and acknowledge the support received.
If you would like to find out more information or why we can't offer memorial benches outside our cemeteries, please contact the Environment Team.
