Hot weather

The Met Office (opens new window) has forecast hot weather across Guildford. Read our advice during hot weather.

Bin collections

Due to the high temperatures, our bin crews will be starting collections earlier than usual to help keep them safe in the heat. Please make sure your bins are out the night before, as collections will take place from 5.30am for the rest of the week. Thank you for helping our crews work safely during the hot weather.

Contaminated land assessment

This is required if your project will cause either:

  • ground disturbances
  • changes to the groundwater regime

It's also required if the land could be contaminated because of its previous use.
