STAFF shortages due to the coronavirus crisis have led to missed recycling collections in Somerset today (February 11).
Some streets in Glastonbury, Street, Yeovil and villages in Sedgemoor have not had their recycling collected.
Rubbish, garden waste and clinical and bulky waste collections have not been affected.
A spokesperson for Somerset Waste Partnership said: "We regret that immediate return collections are not possible; please re-present recycling next week, Thursday, February 18, from 6am.
"For more recycling space, flatten and tear up card; rinse, quash and put tops back on plastic bottles; rinse and – if safe – crush cans. Stack boxes locked food bin on top.
"If materials cannot be stored or would present a health or fire risk, all recycle sites are on their usual schedules for essential visits only, and can take all kerbside materials for recycling.
"The only exception is food waste, which should be double bagged and put in your rubbish, or added to the energy-from-waste skip at any recycling site.
"Please observe all coronavirus safety advice for kerbside collections, including washing/sanitising hands before and after handing waste containers, disinfecting handles, and maintaining social distance from waste staff."
