Edit 12 August - unions agreed to postpone industrial action while members consider a new pay offer. We will provide further updates when necessary.
Perth and Kinross residents are being advised bin collections are likely to be disrupted by industrial action between August 14 and 22.
Unison and GMB trade union members in Waste and Recycling and Street Cleansing Services are taking part in industrial action in a national dispute over pay. Members of Unite are striking elsewhere in Scotland.
The strike action is likely to affect bin collections in Perth and Kinross areas.
If bins are not collected within 48 hours, residents should return their bin to their property and re-present it on the next scheduled collection date.
Service disruption may also impact Recycling Centres, Recycling Points, Street Sweeping, Special Uplifts and Public Toilets. Householders and commercial customers are reminded to continue presenting their bins at the kerbside during the current Waste & Recycling Strike Action.
We will do all we can to minimise disruption for residents and businesses during these times.
Residents should flatten cardboard in blue bins and wash and squash plastic bottles and cans in grey bins to ensure there is as much room as possible. Where possible general waste should be stored in tied bags in green bins with the lids closed.
If brown bins become full during the Strike Action, please consider storing the grass cuttings in the garden until they can be recycled after the Strike Action.
If you are out and about and litter bins are full, please look for an alternative bin or take your waste home.
More information and regular updates will be available at on our Service Disruptions page and on Perth and Kinross Council's social media.
