Snow and Ice Force Bin Collection Cutbacks Across Parts of East of England

Councils are scaling back non‑essential rounds to protect crews, with missed bins to be collected when conditions ease.

Overview

  • East Suffolk said collections are disrupted due to hazardous conditions and asked residents to leave bins out until crews can return safely.
  • East Suffolk suspended its garden waste service for the week and will automatically extend subscriptions for households that miss a pickup.
  • Norwich cancelled food and garden waste collections today and warned of delays to waste and recycling rounds as teams are redeployed to support priority routes.
  • Great Yarmouth warned refuse crews may be unable to access some roads because of snow and ice and advised residents to keep bins at usual collection points for catch‑up collections.
  • UKHSA cold‑weather alerts are in force for the region as councils direct residents to check websites or contact centers for service updates.
