Kerbside recycling is coming back
From Tuesday next week, on your normal collection day, we will resume kerbside recycling collection for glass, paper and cardboard only.
▪️Put it out on the usual collection day before 7am, but to help cope with the quantities at this time, please don't put all your stored items out all at once.
▪️We don’t have an exact date for when plastic and can collection will re-start. This material is sorted manually to be recycled for market, and at the moment this can’t be carried out safely. As soon as the situation changes and this service can be resumed safely we will begin collecting plastic and cans again. Please continue to dispose of these items in your orange council rubbish bags, or clean and store them
▪️Public recycling stations remain closed, including rural green bins.
▪️The delivery of new recycling crates, which was suspended at Level 4, will resume from Tuesday next week.
▪️Henderson Rd transfer station remains closed to anyone but account holders. Work is underway to get it open to the public. Official council bags can be dropped off for free during opening hours.
