The council has said this is so it can prioritise green bins – which are only for waste that will go to landfill – and food waste collections, which will be collected as a priority.

People can use recycling points or go to a recycling centre – but trips should only be made where absolutely necessary, according to government guidelines.

Both Bo’ness and Denny recycling centres are still open but people are asked to allow extra time to make sure social distance is observed.

A spokesperson for the council said: “This is a totally unprecedented situation we’re in, and at the moment our only consideration is public health.”

People are advised to continue to check www.falkirk.gov.uk for updates, as this may change at short notice.
