The Stafferton Way Household Waste and Recycling Centre will be temporarily closed and garden waste collections suspended if planned bin strikes go ahead next week.
Refuse workers from the GMB union are planning a walk-out on Wednesday, August 31 in a dispute over pay with the council’s waste contractor, Serco.

Windsor and Maidenhead council has announced the following measures if planned strikes go ahead:
The council said if strike action takes place, garden waste collections will be extended to cover the time when allocations are suspended.
Bin collections are set to take place a day later than normal next week due to the Bank Holiday on Monday.
