FROM Monday bin collections in the Cowdenbeath-Lochgelly area for brown bins, for garden and food waste, returned to every four weeks.
Over the winter it has been eight weeks but from this week it is back to every four.
Said a council spokesperson: "We’re returning to 4-weekly brown bin collections. If you have any concerns about excess food waste, please place this in your blue landfill bin.
"Please only put out bins for collection that need emptied - more than half full. Please continue to put your blue, brown or green bin out at 6am on the day the bin is normally collected. If we’re unable to empty them on your collection day, please leave them out and we’ll try to return and collect them over the following days".
However, the spokesperson added: "We’re temporarily stopping collections of grey paper/cardboard recycling bins. Please store your paper/cardboard recycling until further guidance is given. To make best use of space in your grey bin please flatten all cardboard boxes
"We have had to make these changes because staff are either self-isolating or unwell. We’re trying to provide the best service we can with what we have".
