A COUNCIL is updating its records on who is entitled to assisted bin collections.
Durham County Council offers help where all people in a house aged over 16 are unable to move their wheelie bins or recycling boxes to the kerb due to ill health, infirmity or disability.
The list has not been updated for several years.
More than 13,100 residents who applied for assistance in January will receive a letter and form to complete and return.
Letters will be posted between now and March 1.
