THE snow might be finally melting but disruption continues for bin collections in South Gloucestershire.
Green bin collections in the district have been suspended until next Monday, January 25.
South Gloucestershire Council has said crews will only be collecting black bins for the rest of the week in an attempt to catch up.
The authority has admitted that collections are a whole week behind because of the Christmas holidays and two weeks of snow.
The council said: "It is impossible for us to say with certainty when we will be able to get to any specific property.
"The best advice we can give at the moment is to put your black bins out for collection according to the Christmas holiday schedule and we will get to you as soon as we possibly can. We are catching up but it is slow and variable progress."
Residents are being advised to put any additional rubbish by the side of their bins but without obstructing the footpaths.
