How is rubbish collected in Canterbury?
On alternate weeks serco will collect wheelie bin rubbish and on the following week, recycling. For the waste and recycling schedule for your area visit www.canterbury.gov.uk/rubbish.phpand type in your postcode. Bags of rubbish not put in the wheelie bin, outside your house, will not be collected. If you cannot fit all your rubbish into the wheelie bin you will need to put it into purple rubbish sacks bought from Serco. Recycling bags are delivered to the house quarterly. If you run out you can collect more from Canterbury City Council on Military Road. If you do not recycle, you will not be able to fit all your rubbish into the wheelie bin. During June 2007 Canterbury City Council provided orange sacks to the houses of accredited landlords with special regard to the dilemma of departing student tenants – these are collected on the day of pre-notified departure dates in addition to normal collections.
