New Environmental Contract: What Changes Will Be Made to the Waste Collection Service? How Will This Make Recycling Easier?
From 1st August 2009, the red and green recycling bags will be phased out, and replaced by a single recycling sack, which will be used in conjunction with the existing green box for glass. None of the materials that can be recycled will be changed. This should make it easier for residents to recycle.
In 2011/12, wheelie bins will be used to collect recycling, which will make recycling easier, tidier, and no longer susceptible to animals ripping open bags. They will also make it safer for the collection crews to handle.
