COVID FORCES CHANGES TO WASTE SERVICES IN THE REGION

Those planning a trip to the tip may need to alter their plans – under new covid guidelines.

Disposing of rubbish isn’t considered an essential reason to leave home under stay at home orders – meaning some dumps may close to the public.

This will occur under councils’ discretion.

Tamworth Regional Council says its facilities remain open for those who don’t have kerbside collection.

It’s working with police to ensure public health orders are followed.

The EPA has suggested those who don’t have kerbside pick-up should keep waste safely stored until restrictions are lifted.
