The funeral of a binman killed after being crushed under the wheels of a dustcart driven by his best friend takes place on Tuesday.
Jason Maguire was working as part of a team of three in Andrews Road in Southwater, near Horsham, when the accident happened last Thursday.
Horsham District Council has suspended all refuse and recycling operations on the day of the funeral to allow Mr Maguire’s work colleagues to attend.
Collections are already scheduled to take place a day late because of the bank holiday on Monday and this decision will delay collections by a further day.
Refuse and recycling crews will work additional overtime over the next two weeks to help bring collections back to normal and they will collect an additional bag of waste if left beside the bin.
Council head of environmental management waste and cleansing Ian Jopling said: “Jason was a popular figure at the depot and many of his work colleagues wish to attend his funeral.
“In order to allow as many as possible to attend and as mark of respect to Jason, we have decided to suspend operations on that day.
“We will be working additional overtime to catch up and ask all residents to put their bins and baskets out on the advertised day and we will collect them as soon as we can.
“I am sure the public will understand why this difficult decision has been made and join us in remembering Jason on Tuesday.”
Cabinet member for environment and sustainability, Robert Nye, said: “I would like to add my sincere condolences to Jason’s family, friends and colleagues.
