REFUSE and recycling collections are not taking place today (Wednesday) across Welwyn Hatfield.
But Welwyn Hatfield Council's vital Meals on Wheels service is being resumed.
The service which provides hot meals for 180 elderly and disabled residents across the borough did not run on Monday or yesterday due to health and safety fears.
A council spokeswoman said the decision to not send out refuse and recycling trucks was taken by contractor Serco at 5am.

"Those collections not made between Monday and today, will instead be attended to on your next scheduled day.
"A decision will be taken tomorrow - Thursday 5 February - as to whether collections due later in the week will go ahead."
