It comes after another roadside collection bin was destroyed by heat this week.
“It’s that time of year again, inside fires are burning bright, keeping us all warm and toasty,” council said.
“However, we don’t want those fires to continue burning brightly in our wheely bins.
“Clean your fires out and cool those ashes and coals down until they are cold to touch - then, and only then, you can put them in your red lidded bin.
“To be extra vigilant, keep your bins away from any structures, just in case. A burning bin can easily spread to the garage or the house.”
