Warrington’s Bin Collection Strike: Three Months and Counting, with Possible Extension into Christmas, New Year, and even into 2024

The town of Warrington is currently enduring a bin collection strike that has now stretched to a staggering three months. Initially planned to conclude by December 24, 2023, there is growing concern that this disruption may extend into Christmas, New Year, and even into 2024. This prolonged crisis has significantly impacted the daily lives of residents.

In response, Warrington Borough Council established a temporary waste collection location, operational during working hours. However, this measure has attracted a flurry of negative comments on Facebook, highlighting residents’ frustration with the situation. The temporary waste collection points are located at Victoria Park and Alder Lane, offering a partial solution to the mounting waste problem.
