Only grey bins collected even after bin strike ends

Kirklees has just confirmed that when the bin strike ends at midnight on Monday for the rest of next week ONLY grey bins will be collected in the Huddersfield area.

That means that even if your green bin is scheduled to be collected put your grey bin out again.

This is because people whose bins were missed this week will have full and potentially smelly bins. in North Kirklees such as Dewsbury and Ravensthorpe bin collections are as normal as the crews there run out of a depot in Dewsbury which is unaffected by strike action.

Bins are set to go unemptied across Huddersfield after Kirklees Council U-turn on collections during strike action
