Heatwave Hits Trash Day
Description
With scorching heatwaves gripping the country, councils are urging residents to seal trash bins tight—especially food waste—to prevent flies and maggots from thriving. Use liners and keep bins out of direct sun for cooler, cleaner disposal. Some areas, like New Forest, are shifting pickup times to as early as 5 AM to protect sanitation workers from extreme heat. Temperatures are forecast to hit 38°C, with nights staying above 20°C—creating “Tropical Nights” that make recovery nearly impossible. This isn’t just about convenience—it’s about safety, worker well-being, and community resilience in the face of nature’s brutal heat.
