Recycling news, events and information

Changes to recycling services

The Council is proposing to make a change to the recycling service from October 2008. Following customer feedback we want to improve the service, making it more efficient and simpler for everyone. All households (except those in blocks of flats or flats above shops) will be given a new blue box for mixed paper and card. Other recyclable materials will continue to be collected from the black box. No change will be made to collection days. More about changes to the recycling service.

Funding for Give and Take Day events available

We are looking for people who would like to run a Give and Take Day in their local area of the borough. There is some funding and support available from the Council if your event fits our criteria. The funding is available up until March 2009.
