Kirklees Council has released an urgent update on services impacted by the heavy snow as bin collections are cancelled.
Posting on social media, the local authority wrote: “Due to the severe weather, our bin wagons will not be out today (January 6).
“Crews attempted to start bin collections early this morning but due to snow on residential roads, were unable to continue to make collections safely. If your bin is due to be collected today, please leave it out and we will work to collect these over the coming days.
“If you have excess cardboard waiting to be collected, where possible, please take it back inside to keep it dry. We will continue to update our channels if there are any further changes.”
This comes after some bin collections were suspended on Friday (January 3) across parts of Netherton, Honley, Netherthong, Lindley, Oakes, Brockholes, Marsh, Flockton, Fartown and Holmfirth.
Household Waste Recycling Centres at Weaving Lane, Dewsbury and Emerald Street, Huddersfield remain open today, while all others are closed. The council says its Highways teams are working around the clock to keep Kirklees’ priority routes open.
