WYCOMBE district residents will be able to leave out extra rubbish bags after Christmas to help clear a backlog caused by this week's snow.
Green bin collections were suspended by Wycombe District Council this week to allow refuse collectors to concentrate on recycling boxes and normal waste.
Some bins have not been emptied this week as refuse lorries were not able to get to peoples' houses.
A statement from the council said today: “If we have been unable to catch up with your collections during the run up to Christmas we will revert to the advertised catch up schedules - from Christmas onwards.
“Please refer to the recently delivered bank holiday collection information for details of when your collections are due.
“To help you through this difficult period, we will collect additional refuse bags that are presented alongside your grey wheeled bin, but please be aware that this is only during your first refuse collection after Christmas.
“Residents are asked to assist collections by presenting bins and boxes by 7am and not blocking access or roads with vehicles.”
Meanwhile, bin collections in the Chiltern district are to go ahead “where possible”.
Chiltern District Council said: “Time and weather permitting we will attempt to collect missed refuse from Tuesdays black sack and bin waste.”

Well done John Lewis for a great bit of ADVERTISING.
I have had to take John Lewis PLC to county court for not fixing my Toshiba Teleivision Properly under their so called 5 years Guarantee. Its WORTHLESS, just a selling point of SALE JARGON.
I sent them my reciept and then heard nothing! Then i complained and they sent someone out to collect my tv and gave me a loan tv untill my one was fixed.
I then got a call to say my tv was fixed. When they dropped it off i noticed straight away it had a crack on the top casing and a piece visibly missing. Not only that they said they wanted to take their tv back. I refused to accept my broken tv as the picture was not proper as it should be, pixels were missing and the fact that it was damaged.
I sent a letter to their managing director and they had the audacity to say they wanted £600 for the loan tv because i didnt give it back. Anyway, i issued a law suit againt the Managing Director of the whole company, in his name. That made them sit up and listen a bit but they had it changed at court to J L PLC.
They refuse to give me £1300 back which i paid for the tv and say its over 5 years old but cannot prove this at all. Hence i will be fighting my case in High Wycombe county couRt in Feb 2010
SO JOHN LEWIS PLC HIGH WYCOMBE BRANCH.
YOU ARE NOT SO GOOD AFTER ALL.
I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM OTHER PEOPLE OF HIGH WYCOMBE WHO HAVE HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE AT THE JOHN LEWIS HIGH WYCOMBE BRANCH WITH REGARDS TO THE "SO CALLED"5 YEAR GUARANTEE ON THEIR TELEVISION SETS

other one stood outside drinking tea.
thats why the roads are not gritted. and our taxes are paying them to take it easy
