North Lincolnshire Council resumed brown bin (garden waste) collections yesterday (Tuesday, January 19) after a break of some weeks, but a number of vehicle breakdowns arose affecting many Brigg properties and others in nearby villages.
As a result of the difficulties, some households in parts of our town, Worlaby, Elsham and Wrawby did not have their bins emptied as planned.
The council is intending to return to these properties today, providing sufficent vehicles are available.
The authority says it will be checking this morning (Wednesday) before confirming when all the 'missed collections' will be completed.
Burgundy (cardboard and plastic) bins in our area appear to have been emptied as planned yesterday.
Mid-afternoon update: The council returned and emptied many bins in Brigg on Wednesday.
