Coronavirus: Bryson to introduce temporary collection measures

The temporary restrictions will come into effect from Monday, April 6.

Eric Randall, Director of Bryson Recycling said: “We need the support of the public to ensure that it is as safe as possible for everyone involved to continue emptying wheelie boxes.

“For householders with wheelie Bbxes, we ask that they sort their materials in the following way: box 1: paper and cardboard, box 2: plastics, food and drinks cans, foil, cartons and aerosols and box 3: glass bottles and jars.

“If materials are not sorted in this way, then our staff will be forced not to empty your containers until the issue is resolved.

“Unfortunately Bryson will not be able to collect batteries, textiles, hand tools or overflow bags when the new collection measures start. Households with a wheelie box will receive an information leaflet regarding the new collection arrangements this week.

“We appreciate these are difficult and challenging times for everyone. We apologise for any disruption to our services, but we trust that everyone will understand and respect that we have to balance the need for collections and above all the need to keep our staff safe and protected whilst ensuring we deliver your service. We are grateful for your patience and continued support.”
