Bolton waste crews respond to Peter Kay
In Bolton, the council’s waste and recycling team has submitted its audition on Twitter to be featured in Peter Kay’s recreation of his iconic Comic Relief music video to Tony Christie’s smash hit, “(Is This The Way To) Amarillo”. As LARAC chair, Carole Taylor, remarked, no bins were hurt in this performance.

Wiltshire residents thank Hills crews
Residents of Wiltshire are showing their appreciation for local crews who are collecting rubbish and recycling from households during the coronavirus pandemic.
[gallery_placement]Nicola Towell, collection contract manager for Hills Municipal Collections, said : “We have been touched to receive pictures, handwritten notes and social media posts saying thank you. The notes and pictures have been attached to bins, fences and walls and have thank you messages for our collection teams who are working hard under these difficult circumstances. Residents have been waving from windows and doorways to say thank you – without getting too close – and some of them have been so grateful to see a face and exchange a few words.
“The crews have also received gifts of various treats including chocolates and cakes, and even some free range eggs! Our crews would like to say a massive thank you back to everyone for their kindness.”
Hills Municipal Collections is the contractor responsible for the collection of household waste and recycling from residents on behalf of Wiltshire Council.
