Around 64,000 households will be affected by changes to their bin collections from October 31. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

If you are affected, you will be notified by post between October 10 -28. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

For most people, the main change will be a change of collection day. Some people will also be affected by other changes such as a change in their blue / black bag collection weeks. You can check if your collection day / week is changing by visiting My House on i-Local. Simply enter your postcode, select your address and click go. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

A small number of residents who have never received a recycling service in the past will now be able to recycle. You can visit My House on i-Local to check if you have been added to the scheme. You will receive a calendar and an information booklet by post. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

If you are new to the scheme, food bins and blue bags will be delivered separately during October. If you do not receive a food bin / blue bags by October 28 you can order them online by visiting i-Local. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

If you are NOT affected by changes to your collection, you will not be contacted by us. Please continue as normal. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The changes are taking place because we are having new refuse collection vehicles and we have revised the collection routes across the county. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The new vehicles will have a separate pod at the front to keep food waste separate from blue / black bags. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The refuse vehicles and route changes will help us to provide an improved service and help us to achieve our recycling targets. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Our community recycling advisors are visiting some properties affected from August onwards to explain the changes. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

We apologise for any inconvenience caused but these changes are needed to improve the service. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
