Tandridge Council apologised for disrupted waste collections in July 2026 and announced six extra weeks free for existing garden-waste subscribers. The extension would be applied automatically after contractor staff shortages interrupted collections. It acknowledged the inconvenience caused to subscribers. A £160,000 support package with Biffa included extra staffing, measures to retain workers and another vehicle for recycling rounds. The council said the measures were intended to improve reliability through April 2027. A later July BBC report warned that recovery would take time and some collections could remain affected while the service stabilised.
