Snow is continuing to cause problems across Shropshire this morning with poor driving conditions reported across the county and a number of schools closed.
We are updating this page with the latest information as we get it.
Waste Collection Disruption
Due to the current snow across the county waste collections may be affected.
Shropshire Council is asking residents to follow the following advice:
– Leave your refuse bin out. If a collection can’t be made on your scheduled collection day it will be collected as soon as it’s safe to do so.
– Take your garden waste bin back in, and put it out on your next scheduled garden waste collection day.
– Leave your recycling bin / boxes and blue sacks out (as long as they don’t present a trip hazard). They will be collected as soon as it’s safe to do so.
