“It can be quite frustrating but they are only trying to complete their job.

“Let’s not forget, they are taking away our waste for us.

“The refuse collection teams have assured us that at every available and safe opportunity they will pull in to allow vehicles to pass but at times you will be made to wait.

“Please respect these workers at all times.”

Police could not give details of where or when the alleged incident took place.
