Time to clean some space on your fridge, as the new waste and recycling calendars are on their way to residents in the District.
The new calendars will be distributed to 44,000 households in the District over the next few weeks.
This year’s calendar forms part of an information booklet which residents can keep on their fridge as a permanent recycling reminder. It gives valuable information such as what goes in which bin and a reminder that food waste is no longer accepted in the brown bin.
Earlier this year the Council launched their ‘no food waste’ campaign to create future savings and residents were asked to dispose of food waste in their green bin or recycle it in the garden with a garden composter.
Councillor Alan Dudson, Portfolio Leader for the Environment said “I would like to personally thank residents for being patient and waiting for the new calendars. It would have wasted a lot of money to produce an interim calendar so I hope everyone took advantage of the online version on the website.
The new calendar is included in an information booklet which hasn’t been used in the District for a while. We felt this was the best way of reminding residents of the changes in disposing food waste and it also gives a short list of what goes it which bin.
However, I would like to remind people that if they are unsure of where to dispose of their waste, there is a search facility on our website which will tell them what items goes in which bin.
So I hope that everyone has a bit of space on their fridge to display the calendar for the next 12 months.”
