Garden waste collections suspended

Published: 17/03/2020

Copeland residents are being reminded that, as part of the council’s resilience planning around coronavirus, garden waste collections are suspended

The fortnightly collections were due to restart this week, but in light of the flexibility needed to deliver core services when staff are unavailable, they will not.

A spokesperson said: “In common with all organisations, we do not know how our staffing levels will be affected in coming weeks, and we will be prioritising the delivery of statutory services.”
