During the pandemic, Gloucester City Council are working very hard to continue services.

Inevitably, some services may be reduced due to staff shortages through illness or self-isolating, or due to budgetary pressures. 

At the moment the city council are prioritising collection of recycling and residual waste (the black bins), and due to the high volume of residual waste being presented for collection, garden waste is being deprioritised. There are no guarantees of green waste collections at this time, so the advice is to compost where possible. Compost bins can be purchased from some shops which remain open.
