Some public paper and card recycling banks are currently full across Richmond borough.

Due to a specialist vehicle breaking down, there have been some delays in clearing the sites.

Richmond Council says it is working with its contractor to "remove the excess material as quickly as possible, with sites expected to be cleared by the end of June".

The authority added: "If you have small amounts of paper and card, keep these at home and await for your next regular collection day."

If needed, you can book a slot and take paper and card to Townmead Road or Space Waye.
