Harrogate Borough Council has warned residents that some waste collections will be delayed this week due to staff absences.

The council tweeted this afternoon that refuse, recycling and garden waste pick-ups will be delayed through the week but it hopes to have outstanding collections caught up by 5pm on Saturday.

It is not the first time waste and recycling collections have been disrupted in recent months.  In June, an outbreak of covid among staff working for HBC caused delays.

Last month, Cllr Richard Cooper, the Conservative leader of HBC, said people should not expect public services such as bin collections to be “immune” to the same disruptions seen in the private sector brought on by the NHS covid app "pinging" people.
