Fortnightly Recycling Collection

Nov 22 , 2012 - Thu - 7:00 am

Recycling Collections

There is now a fortnightly recycling collection service. The recycling containers consist of one box and three reusable bags. By now you should have received your additional containment, if you have not please contact us to request the containment.

Rubbish collections

You will receive a weekly collection of 'black sack' rubbish. Anyone who uses a wheeled bin or standard rubbish bin for storing their waste can continue to do this, but we need the rubbish to be bagged inside the bins. Please see our waste and recycling frequently asked questions

 

What should I have received in the former Penwith area.

Recycling containers - orange, blue and red bags

Residents should have already had a green box.

Residents should now have received a blue reusable sack for paper, a red reusable sack for cans and plastic bottles, and an orange reusable sack for cardboard.

Please note

We have taken into account that not all residents will all ready have the containment used in their former districts. Additional bags and boxes for those residents can be requested by calling 0300 1234 141.
