Residents of Merthyr Tydfil have been facing weeks of missed bin collections, causing quite the stir! The local council’s chief executive has stepped up with an apology, explaining the hiccups. A medley of challenges hit the region, including vehicle breakdowns, adverse weather, and a post-Christmas surge in waste. Some areas got extra snowy and icy, making Monday and Tuesday collections particularly tricky.
Good news, though! Additional crews are working hard to tackle the backlog, and by this Wednesday everyone’s bins should finally be sorted. The council is already planning a review to identify the root causes and ensure this doesn’t happen again.
In a heartfelt message, the chief executive expressed, “We’re truly sorry for the frustration and inconvenience. Restoring normal service is our top priority.” So, hang tight, because smoother bin collection days are just around the corner!
