Somerset Council is asking residents in the Burnham-On-Sea and Highbridge area to put their recycling and rubbish bins out the night before collection and by 6am at the latest if their collection falls between Monday 24th June and Wednesday 26th June.
Crews will be starting early to help them cope with the forecast hot weather and to help beat the extra traffic on the roads due to Glastonbury Festival.
“This should limit any disruption to recycling, rubbish or garden waste collections across the county,” adds a council spokesman.
“Waste collection is hard, physical work and early starts help limit the time crews spend working in the hottest part of the day.”
Somerset’s waste and recycling collection crews make more than 350,000 collections a week.
For more information about what happens to the recycling they collect, check the Somerset Recycling Tracker on the Somerset Council website.
