Consultation background information

With the challenges facing public finances, we must reduce the cost for waste and recycling collections within the district and we are currently researching options for how this could be delivered.  We aim to ensure a high-quality collection service for our residents, although if costs need to be reduced how the service is currently delivered will need to change.

We have a responsibility to collect your residual waste (black bin) and recycling (blue-lidded bin), although we do not have to collect garden waste (green bin). Collection of all your waste and recycling is currently collected alternatively, every two weeks.
