Wrexham Council has confirmed which services are being disrupted as strike action begins in the county borough today (Monday, September 4).

The industrial action was called by Unite Trade Union nationwide, with disruption expected to some services for two weeks.

Wrexham Council has confirmed that black bin collections are going ahead today, having been “prioritised” but that green bins and recycling bin collections are “unlikely” to go ahead.

The council also confirmed how other services will run.

A spokesperson said: “We’ve reviewed resources and are pleased to confirm we’re prioritising black waste bin collections on our planned routes in local community areas e.g. Plas Madoc, Rhos, Johnstown and Penycae. 

“Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that we’ll get to green bins or dry recycled waste, as we have insufficient resource.

“For grounds maintenance, we have our large tractors out cutting grass and operatives are working in the north area around Coedpoeth.

“For street cleaning in the town centre, our morning shift is currently out working. We have a shift-change at lunchtime and will review activities following this.

“Our highways gangs are all out today undertaking reactive work, including our gully wagons and mechanical sweepers who are working to their schedule.

“There are no implications for our cemeteries and crematorium, so these are operating as normal.”
