BIN collections in Herefordshire will be made earlier than usual as potentially record-breaking temperatures hit the county.
Herefordshire Council said that due to the extreme weather warnings issued by the Met Office for July 18 to 20 July 20, collections will be starting an hour earlier.
"If your collection is due on one of these days, please put your recycling or rubbish out either the night before or by 5.30am as collection times will be earlier than normal," the council said.
"This is only a temporary change for the dates stated. We apologise in advance if we disturb you by making collections a little earlier."
