THURROCK Council has announced that its waste collection teams will be making an earlier start to their work in a bid to combat the current heatwave.,

A statement from the authority says: "Owing to the hot weather, from Monday 22 June - Friday 26 June 2026 our waste crews will be starting earlier.

"This means all waste containers / bins must be out in your usual collection point by 5am, and not 6am as is usual.

"We appreciate your cooperation during this period and thank you for your understanding."
