NORTH Ayrshire Council has provided an update on waste collections which were missed earlier this week.

The authority was forced to postpone uplifts scheduled for Wednesday, November 11, following a major emergency incident impacting a business neighbouring the council's waste depot.

A blaze erupted in Murdoch Place, at the Lowmac recycling site, resulting in the area being closed off for the day.

The council has now confirmed that missed bin collections will be completed on Saturday, November 14.

Bulky uplift collections in the Irvine area which were also missed during the week due to the fire will be carried out on the same date.

A spokesperson said: "We apologise for the inconvenience caused and thank residents for their patience and understanding."
