WASTE and recycling collections will operate as normal today despite the weather warning, say Cotswold District Council.

Despite a yellow warning for the Cotswolds from the Met Office, environmental services company Ubico Ltd has confirmed that its crews will be collecting waste and recycling today.

Weather reports currently indicate that wintry weather is on the way early next week. If there are any changes to waste collection schedules, the council will update their website.
