WREXHAM Council has provided an update today (September 6) amid ongoing strike action.
The industrial action was called by Unite Trade Union nationwide, with disruption expected to some services for two weeks.
The authority has prioritised black bin collections since the strikes began on Monday, but green bins and recycling bin collections have been affected.
On Wednesday, the council provided an update on the services that are still going ahead.
A spokesperson said: "We’re again prioritising black waste bin collections on our planned routes in local community areas e.g. Acton, Garden Village, Minera, Gresford, Rossett and Burton areas.
"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 and Central areas.
"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
"We expect the ongoing Unite strike action to affect some of our waste and recycling services between Monday, September 4 and Friday, September 17.
"Please place your recycling and waste containers out as normal on collection day. However, if your waste and recycling has not been collected by 3.30pm, please store until your next collection.
"All the household recycling centres are open as normal if space is a problem."
