The council and our waste collection partners Allerdale Waste Services would like to apologise for the issues which have affected some properties' garden waste collections over the last couple of weeks. The issues have been caused by self-isolation and other staff absences.
The advice for households who've not had their collection this week is to take bins back in and present them on their next scheduled garden waste collection day.
Households are advised to continue checking our website and social media accounts for the latest information on collections.
England has moved into Step 4 from 19 July 2021.

Open fires and wood-burning stoves have increased in popularity which means we now see more smoke from chimneys.
This has a negative effect on air quality and can cause breathing problems including asthma attacks and contribute to other health conditions.
If you think that someone is polluting the air with an open fire or wood burning stove, then you can report it to us.
