GMB union members working for Biffa, the council’s waste contractor, have voted for industrial action. This strike action is expected to occur between Thursday 3 November and Wednesday 23 November. It will affect all bin collections and street cleansing services across Waverley. The discussions between GMB and Biffa are ongoing and so may still be averted.

Waverley Borough Council have provided additional advice about what to do with your waste and recycling during the industrial action and answers to common questions can be found by visiting www.waverley.gov.uk/binstrike(opens in new tab). More information will be released as it becomes available.
