A COUNCIL is sending out bin crews again today after residents got confused following a change in bin collection dates.

Crews from Durham County Council will be doing an extra round in Newton Aycliffe and School Aycliffe today and Monday to take away rubbish and recycling materials.

The extra collections follow changes to the council's collection days which a spokeswoman for the council said was "part of efforts to streamline the service".

But many residents said they were not aware of the changes.

The spokeswoman said: "Crews will be aiming to collect any bins that were not put out for collection last week on residents’ new collection days."
