RESIDENTS across Somerset are being advised that all waste and recycling collections will start earlier this week due to forecast high temperatures.
Somerset Council has announced that refuse crews will begin collections from 6am to help protect workers from the hottest parts of the day while ensuring services continue to run smoothly.
Households are being asked to put their recycling, rubbish, and garden waste out the night before their scheduled collection day to ensure bins are ready for the earlier start.
A Somerset Council spokesperson said: "All waste collections will start at 6am throughout the week due to the forecast of higher temperatures.
"Please put your recycling, rubbish, and garden waste out the night before your collection day so crews can get started early.
"This helps protect our crews while keeping collections running as smoothly as possible."
The council is urging residents to check that their bins and containers are presented on time to avoid the risk of missing a collection.
