Bin collections as normal over Easter holidays

Derry City and Strabane District Council say its refuse collection services have been suspended today in the interests of health and safety of staff following the severe snow and icy conditions overnight.

In a statement, the council say: “Householders are advised to leave out their bins as normal and Council will endeavour to service them over the coming days when it is safe to do so.

“All of our Cemeteries will be closed to the public today and open to facilitate funerals only.

“The public are advised to expect some disruption to Recycling Centres across the Council area with many of the rural facilities unable to open because of the severe weather conditions.

“The Strahan Road centre in Strabane is open and staff are currently working to open other sites when it’s safe to do so.

“We urge the public to be patient and when using our centres please be careful and co-operate fully with staff.

“In the interests of health and safety all Council grass pitches are closed and will remain closed this weekend due to the poor weather conditions. User groups are being contacted directly.

“We apologise for any inconvenience.

“In terms of our outdoor sports facilities and courts these are subject to regular inspections and again user groups will be contacted directly.

“Anyone using Council parks, greenways and play areas are asked to note that the pathways will be slippy and caution must be taken by users.

“Some of the Council play parks which are locked overnight may not be open until later today and until inspections are carried out.

“We are urging the public to be patient and to take extreme care when using these facilities.

“All of our Leisure centres are currently open.”
