West Lothian residents should put out their bins on their usual collection dates over the Easter weekend.
All bins should be left out until they are emptied, and householders are asked to be patient while crews work to clear any backlog caused by the bank holidays on April 15 and 18.
The council say some delays to collections are likely, but they aim to have all bins uplifted within a week of the scheduled collection days.
A West Lothian Council spokesperson said: “Staffing levels over the holiday period means it is more likely that collections may be delayed, so residents are asked to be patient as our dedicated crews work to clear any backlog over the course of the following week.
“All five of West Lothian’s recycling centres will be open as normal over the Easter holiday weekend. For more details on opening hours, visit www.westlothian.gov.uk/local-recycling-centres.”
