Recycling disruption in Kirkwall

Orkney Islands Council is advising that, due to mechanical issues, today’s recycling collections on Route 2 and 7, in Kirkwall, are running behind schedule.

The council has said its crews will be working on this evening and, if crews don’t manage to complete the routes tonight, the intention is to resume collecting tomorrow.

Residents affected are advised to keep their recycling out meantime this evening, and to have any recycling not collected by 7pm this evening out again tomorrow morning by 8am.

Updates will be posted as available tomorrow on the OIC Updates Facebook page.
