Cornwall Council has provided a further update on rubbish and recycling collections confirming that they will continue as normal, but that the times they are collected may vary.

The council has said that this is because the crews are very busy and need "flexibility" to change collection routes.

Cornwall Council said:

"Residents should note that bin crews may not arrive at their usual collection times over the coming weeks. Please put rubbish and recycling out by 7am, and it should be collected by 6pm. Please report any missed collections on the following day.

"We remind you that, Household Waste Recycling Centres are closed

and bulky collections have been suspended.

"Until these services start again please store any waste or recycling that cannot be put out on the kerbside collection.

"Small electrical appliances and batteries should not be put in black sacks or bins. Redundant small electrical appliances can be recycled, but not on the kerbside collections. Please hold on to them until the Household Waste Recycling Centres re-open.

"Our crews are doing a great job keeping the bins emptied and your recycling collected.

"You can help them by not putting out extra items for collection. Please just put out your normal household rubbish and recycling."
