WASTE and recycling that went uncollected yesterday will be picked up as soon as possible, the borough council said.

Bin men struggled to remove waste and recycling on Friday as high temperatures and bins weighed-down with the bottles and cans emptied at World Cup games proved challenging.

On social media, Swindon Borough Council said: “We experienced some disruptions to waste and recycling collections today [Friday]. If your bins or boxes were not collected, leave them out and we will be back to collect them as soon as possible.

“We have resources in place for collections to take place tomorrow [Saturday].”
