THE Forest of Dean District Council has said that waste and recycling collections could be disrupted by snow.

On Wednesday the Met Office issued an ‘yellow’ warning of snow afternoon, which means that waste and recycling collections may be disrupted on today and tomorrow (Thursday and Friday).

The extent to which it will affect the Forest of Dean area is unclear. Guidance for what to do in the event of severe weather and any disruption to services is available on the council’s website, www.fdean.gov.uk by visiting the bad weather page.

In the event of any disruption, residents can also call the council’s automated waste and recycling telephone line 01594 812666 for the latest information.
