Multiple bin collections have been cancelled across the UK as Brit families are told - take your own trash to the tip. The coronavirus crisis has forced councils to dramatically scale back everyday services and household bin collections are one of the first to go.
And while some lorries may still be turning up to collect your bags and people are being urged to contact their local council, the new message amid the outbreak is clear: don't let the litter pile up, put it in your car and take it to your local dump yourself.
One of the councils taking the extraordinary step includes Cambridge City Council, who said it would suspend all garden waste collections from Monday until May 4.
