Refuse Collection - Strike Action

The waste and recycling staff in Aberdeen are to go on strike between Wednesday 24 August and Thursday 1 September and between Wednesday 7 and Saturday 10 September as part of national action being carried out at local authorities across Scotland.  All waste and recycling collection services in the city, both domestic and commercial, may be affected and it is likely that some bins will not be emptied. 

The uncertainty around staff availability means that it is not known, on any given day, which bins will or will not be emptied. For this reason, advice from the City Council to residents, is to put out bins by 7am on your normal collection day but take them back in if they are not emptied by the end of the day. If they have not been emptied, you should not put it out again until your next scheduled collection day as there will be no catch up in between.
