Derry City and Strabane District Council’s Head of Environment, Conor Canning, encouraged residents to familiarise themselves with the changes.
"We are continuously looking at ways in which we can improve our Refuse services across the city and district,’ Mr Canning said. ‘This new route optimisation process will do just that within the Strabane District area.
