South Gloucestershire residents could face months of recycling chaos as waste collectors continue to strike. Last week the union Unite announced that strike action had intensified and was "set to last every day until September".
Around 150 workers employed by the council’s waste contractor Suez are taking part in the strike action, which began last month. And now South Gloucestershire Council has introduced additional measures to deal with the impact on kerbside collections.
The authority has said black bin collections would be prioritised and residents are asked to continue to put out black bins on their scheduled day. If it is not collected, then households will need to report a missed collection.
