00:01New waste trucks are set to boost bin collections after a £2 million contract has been awarded.
00:06Ageing lorries will be replaced with eight new vehicles over the next six months.
00:11The initiative will be managed by waste management firm Fawn Zoella UK.
00:16A report said older vehicles, which are becoming increasingly unreliable
00:20and have considerable maintenance requirements, will be replaced.
00:25A tender received from the company said each vehicle would cost £260,000.
00:32The new trucks will be more carbon efficient as part of the council's net zero ambitions.
00:38They'll help with the management of household waste, recycling and keeping neighbourhoods clean.
