Why did all my hard waste go into the same truck?

For Hard Waste & Bundled Branches collections we have up to five different trucks collecting the different kinds of waste.

However, if a street is small or the collections are of a low volume the contractors may decide to send only one truck to collect all kinds of wastes. This waste is compacted in the truck while they are collecting, they will then take the waste to the transfer station and use an excavator to break up and separate the waste.

This option can save on the kilometres travelled by the trucks and therefore the pollution and costs associated.
