REFUSE AND RECYCLING FROM 6TH APRIL 2009
- The Green Waste collection starts again from 6 April, and will be collected the same day as your recycling
- You can now mix kitchen waste with your green waste. So one week your kitchen waste will go in your grey bin and the following week in your green bin. However, kitchen waste must not be wrapped in plastic when placed in your green bin, although it can be wrapped in newspaper. All green waste together with kitchen waste will be composted
- Your grey bin will be collected every other week. Your kitchen waste will therefore still be collected weekly, as mentioned above; by one week putting it in your grey bin and the other in your green bin
