Truck didn’t come — or dates look wrong?

We show published schedules only — we can’t rebook a truck. But one tap opens a ready-made email to City of Cessnock so you can report the right issue.

Missed collection goes to council waste services (service request). Dates wrong asks them to refresh bulk open data so everyone stays accurate.
