Bins & Waste

Delayed Refuse Collections

Due to staff shortages, some refuse (blue sacks and communal bins) collections due to take place today in Buckden, Perry and Little Paxton have been delayed, and we aim to have these collected by the end of the week.

Grey bin collections in the following roads in Huntingdon are also affected, and arrangements have been made to ensure bins are emptied by the end of the week:

  • Elter Water, Huntingdon
  • Crummock Water, Huntingdon
  • Haweswater, Huntingdon
  • Loweswater, Huntingdon
  • Ullswater, Huntingdon
  • Lake Way, Huntingdon
  • Levers Water, Huntingdon
  • Drovers Place, Huntingdon.
