Food and Garden waste collection restarts in Milton Keynes

Monday, 15 March 2021 10:42

After two months with no collections, food and garden waste bin collection will start again from today (15/03).

The collections were suspended on 14th January after Serco, Milton Keynes Council's waste contractor, were short-staffed due to a number of positive Covid tests.

The suspension came the day after it was announced that two Serco drivers, based in Milton Keynes, had died after testing positive for Covid-19.

Staff levels are now back to normal allowing collection to resume again as normal from 15/03.

Those unsure about their collection days can find it on Milton Keynes Council's website.
