New Wolverhampton bin collection days as city welcomes Commonwealth Games Time Trial

The event runs throughout Thursday, and will mean bin collections have been altered for those that normally have their waste taken away on Thursdays.

Wolverhampton Council has made the changes to waste collections as roads will be closed inside and around the time trial course on Thursday to ensure the safety of spectators, athletes and residents, and to facilitate smooth running of the event.

The majority of roads will be closed from 5am to 6pm on race day, but parking will be restricted along the entire course from 6pm on Wednesday, August 3 until 6pm on Thursday - any vehicles found parked on the course will be towed away.

Due to the road closures, the council have made adjustments to waste collections and they will be as follows:
