Why has the Council changed to an alternate weekly collection?
All the rubbish from your grey bin goes directly to a landfill site, which means it is simply buried in the ground. This costs a lot and damages the environment. Much of this ‘rubbish’ can actually be recycled and we need to increase our recycling rate from 26% to 40%. If we don’t increase the amount of rubbish which we recycle, then we will fail to meet European targets for diverting waste from landfill sites and will face huge fines – in 2009/2010 those fines could amount to 1 Million. We need all our residents to recycle their rubbish and help us meet our targets. Moving to a fortnightly collection of grey bins will encourage more homes to used recycling bins and so, boost our recycling rate. When will my blue and grey bins be collected? Your normal grey bin collection will not change (unless you are notified). So, if your grey bin day is a Monday, you should put your blue bin out one week and your grey bin out the next and so on. Every home should have received a grey-blue bin coll
