South Hams District Council are asking everyone to please help their hard working crews by putting waste and recycling out slightly earlier during hot weather.
They’ll be starting waste and recycling collections earlier for the welfare of crew members, so they can get more of their work done before the hottest parts of the day.
South Hams District Council are asking you to support them by making sure that your recycling containers, bin bags or garden waste bags are on the kerbside by 6 a.m. on your collection day next week.
Thank you in advance for your support.
