RESIDENTS in the Wells and North Mendip area are being advised by Somerset Council that there may be delays to recycling collections today (Tuesday, September 23) due to a range of operational issues.

The areas affected are in and around Wells, Westbury-sub-Mendip, Stratton-on-the-Fosse, Chilcompton, Priddy, Holcombe, Oakhill, Dulcote, Coleford and Draycott.

If residents’ recycling has not been collected, they are asked to leave boxes and bags out and crews will return the next day – there’s no need to report it.

Crews will be working to try to make sure recycling is collected and will be working on Saturday if needed. If it’s been more than 24 hours and the recycling has not been collected, then people are asked to report it.
