Flintshire bins to be collected early on Friday as temperatures set to hit 32C
Flintshire County Council has brought forward Friday’s bin collections because of the heatwave, with residents asked to put bins out by 6am if they are due a collection.
Food waste, black bins and garden waste will be collected as normal.
Dry recycling will be collected where possible, though the council says some may not be picked up.
Household Recycling Centres will also change their hours this week, opening at 7.30am and closing at 2pm.
The council has asked residents to check its website for opening days before travelling to a centre.
It said the changes are designed to help crews finish earlier and reduce the time spent working in high temperatures.
Hawarden is forecast to reach 32C on Friday, according to the Met Office.
The Welsh Ambulance Service said it received more than 400 extra emergency calls a day during last month’s heatwave.
Darren Panniers, Head of Service at the Welsh Ambulance Service, said people should only call 999 in a genuine, life-threatening emergency, and that those with a minor illness or injury can use the NHS 111 Wales website or its digital assistant instead.
