Still using a blue inhaler?🤔 It's time for an upgrade! Your blue inhaler may offer quick relief but only lasts a few hours. Other inhalers can last up to 12 hours and help control Asthma better. 💙 Book a review today with your GP practice to find out more #BlueToNew

@buzeasby Thanks Jon, we have passed this onto relevant colleagues to look into.

@GarryEdin Morning Garry. We hope to have all of the new recycling vehicles operational by the end of this month.

@stocktoncouncil And when would this be?

@stocktoncouncil Why is my 88 yr old mother sorting her garbage and food waste according to your instructions, only to watch the refuse collection service throw glass, plastic, metal, card and paper all in together?

@GarryEdin Hi Garry. Due to delays with the new waste collection vehicles, we are using some of our older wagons to complete collections. If your recycling is collected using an older vehicle it will be sorted and separated at the recycling depot. mf

@smoggy_jeff Hi Jeff. You should find the reorder ribbon near the end of the roll of liners. If there one please could you report to it to our Care For Your Area Team on 01642 391959 or email careforyourarea@stockton.gov.uk with your address so we can arrange to get some out to you. Thanks.

@stocktoncouncil hi, how do we get more food recycling bags please. I thought there was a “tag” to tie round the handle of the box but our roll of bags doesn’t have one?

UPDATE: 1 May, 9:05am Our customer service phone lines are back up and running. Thank you for your patience.

⚠️ CONTACT CENTRE TELEPHONE LINES ⚠️ We’re aware of an issue affecting our contact centre phone lines, which means only urgent enquiry types are currently getting through. We’re working closely with our IT team to resolve this as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience.
