Changes to rubbish and recycling collections are coming to Richmond this week, the Council has announced.

Bin collections will take place earlier in the day on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (12, 13 and 14 August) to "help protect our collection crews in the heat", said Richmond Council.

They will be carried out from 5.45am, so the council asks residents to have their bins out by 5am.
