Ards Borough Council is stickin’ it to you – your bins, in fact – over the next two weeks, as part of the on-going campaign to keep local people informed about new bin collections.
Stickers have begun appearing on grey bins across the Ards to remind residents that, from Monday 2nd June, Ards is switching to an ‘alternate weekly collection’ system, meaning that one week grey bins will be collected and the next week blue bins will be collected.
