It's April 9th. Lester News. Today starts now. AI-powered and ready. I'm Corey with the story. Over 45 streets in Lester Shures, Hinkley and Bosworth area, missed their first food waste bin pickups last month due to rollout glitches. The new nationwide program lets folks recycle scraps like uneaten meals and tea bags separately from regular trash. Hinkley and Bosworth Burle Council blamed teething issues on the April 8th collections, pushing them to April 9th. Hints in spots like Hinkley, Penwall, Shibi Magna, and Shibi Parva got apologies from the council. A 79-year-old local on Falmouth Drive worried about foxes raiding her bin, but she's cool with the change after trying it for a week. Council leaders say it's a huge shift, jacking daily collections from 15,000 to 25,000 with fresh routes in crew. Their neighborhood services rep called it normal start-up pickups, just like past bin upgrades. People's confirmed crews caught up quick, with all April 9th rounds on track, and the

bins are already catching on. They're asking patient residents to report any stragglers for fast fixes.
