Temporary weekly rubbish collections have been introduced in Oldham because of coronavirus - with residents asked to put all their waste and recycling in the same bin.
From today the council is temporarily introducing weekly general waste collections, rather than every three weeks. The measure aims to ensure people's rubbish is collected during the pandemic and the streets are kept clean amid staff shortages.
Residents should now only put out their grey bin by 7am on the normal collection day, and no other bins will be collected 'for the time being'.
However temporarily people can put all of their household waste - including food and recyclable materials - into their grey rubbish bin.
