Council bosses in Stockport have announced a one-off return of green wheelie bin collections for garden waste and food during the coronavirus lockdown.
The council said extra HGV drivers have been trained and other workers have returned to the frontline after periods of self-isolation.
But there will only be one collection. The council said an 'ad-hoc' service would operate over the next three weeks, but green bins would not be emptied again until the lockdown ends.
Collections were first suspended on March 30, but will return on Monday. Some residents however will have to wait until May 1.
