Status of services - Tuesday 22 January

22 January 2013

Please note: these pages contain archived information. Whilst the details were correct when first published, they may since have 'aged' and some of the information could be out-of-date.

Due to this weekend's snowfall, Woking Borough Council would like to update residents and businesses on the state of local services.

All Council buildings, including Woking's Centres for the Community (St Mary's in Byfleet, Moorcroft in Kingfield, The Vyne in Knaphill and Parkview in Sheerwater), Woking Leisure Centre and Pool in the Park and Civic Offices are open as normal.

Waste and recycling services

  • If your waste was not collected on Friday 18 January or Monday 21 January, please re-present your waste containers ready for collection today (Tuesday 22 January).

  • Recycling and food waste collections will take place as normal this week. Crews will focus on the main thoroughfares (road least affected by the icy conditions) and will attempt side roads where the driver considers it safe. We will maintain a list of road not collected and return at the earliest opportunity.

  • Garden waste collections will take place as normal this week. Some garden waste may freeze inside the bin. Every effort will be made to empty the contents but it may not be possible to fully empty bins at the time of collection.

  • Kestral Way Recycling Site is open for business.

Households are reminded to present their waste and recycling bins for collection as normal this week (the night before your collection day). If we are unable to collect, we will endeavour to return and collect as soon as it is safe to do so.

We would like to apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and would like to thank you for your patience.

Further updates about Council services, including waste and collections, affected by the weather will be posted up on this website and on Twitter @WokingCouncil in due course.
