“Those who are in Zone 9, which is Armadale south of Armadale Road, have received flyers that state collections will begin today .
“The collections for this area will not be able to begin until earlier areas have been finished, but we expect this area to be completed by Sunday, April 10.”
The City said the schedule should return to normal and areas that have not had a collection yet should keep an eye out on their letterbox for an orange flyer which will state which weekend they can put junk on verges.
