Additional Recycling Collections + Change to Black Bin Collection Interval
Having added plastic pots and trays to roadside recycling collection, the council intends to alter the black bin collection interval from fortnightly to 3-weekly. It’s being done to help improve recycling level and cut the amount of landfill and resulting carbon emissions, as part of the council’s commitment to tackle climate change. The decision was also done as part of the balancing act to set a budget that supports other essential council services.
