More delays to rubbish collections are likely, warns Somerset Waste Partnership
A national lorry driver shortage is likely to result in further disruption to waste collections across the area, Somerset Waste Partnership (SWP) has warned this week.
Recent delays to collections have continued into this week, and SWP is asking for public patience as it works with its contractor SUEZ to get things back on track.
Rubbish and garden waste routes are being prioritised and SUEZ has drafted in extra drivers from elsewhere to help improve collections in the coming weeks.
Qualified HGV drivers, including anyone recently retired, are being asked by SWP to consider driver/loader vacancies in Bridgwater, Evercreech, Taunton, Williton and Yeovil.
