How Will the Recycling Changes Take Place?
The green wheelie bins will be delivered to all properties over a six-week period, starting in the week of 5th September 2011. Exactly two weeks prior to the bin being delivered, an information leaflet will be put through the letterbox of each property by the collection crews, along with a battery collection bag.
Bins should be delivered exactly two weeks before the first collection, so if the collection day of a property is a Wednesday, the bin will be delivered on the Wednesday recycling collection day. Please be aware that whilst this is the intention, unforeseen circumstances may result in slight alterations.
The green wheelie bin can be used straight away, and should be put out for collection instead of purple sacks and the green box on the next recycling collection day.
For example:
- Week 1: purple bags and green box emptied; leaflet and battery bag delivered through letterbox
- Week 2: refuse collection
- Week 3: purple bags and green box emptied; green wheelie bin delivered
- Week 4: refuse collection
- Week 5: green wheelie bin emptied; purple bags and empty green boxes collected
- Week 6: refuse collection
