It is a truth universally acknowledged that putting your bins out during a storm is a bad idea.
So it will come as no surprise to astute islanders that anyone with a Thursday bin day will have to wait 24 hours to put their rubbish and recycling out, because of Storm Austen.
Rachel Lowe, Guernsey Waste Operations Manager, said: “Given the severity of the weather warnings, there will be no waste and recycling collections on Thursday night.
“Alternative arrangements will be notified as soon as the plans are confirmed with the parish collection contractors.”
Affected households will have their waste collected on Friday night, but Guernsey Waste is asking people to wait until the evening to put their bins out, because high winds are forecast for most of the day.
Guernsey Waste will put further information on collections on its social media.
