After successful implementation of bin collection routine changes in Mid Suffolk, Babergh District Council gets ready to make its changes next week.
Around half of the district’s residents are set for a change in their bin collections as Babergh changes the way waste and recycling collections are organised from next Monday (9 November 2009).
At the moment, each week half of Babergh’s residents have their black bins emptied while the other half have their recycling bins emptied.
To increase the efficiency in waste collection and to reduce the refuse vehicles’ carbon footprint across the district, all Babergh residents will be asked to present the same coloured bin on the same week.
Residents who will be affected by the change will receive information stickers on their bins with this week’s collection (w/c 2 November).
Cllr Humphrey Todd, Babergh’s representative on the Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Waste Partnership, said: “The change will affect only those residents who are due to put out their recycling bin on week commencing November 9th.
“This will mean that the affected residents will need to keep their recycling waste for an extra week but any extra recycling waste can be put in a clear sack beside the recycling bin for collection on November 16th.
“We apologise for any inconvenience that people may experience during the change, but the message for residents for these few weeks of change is ‘If in doubt – put both bins out’.”
Following this, all residents will be back to alternate weekly collections as follows –
Week commencing 16 November – recycling week
Week commencing 23 November – black bin week
Week commencing 30 November – recycling week
Residents are reminded to please present their waste bins by 06.30am on the day of collection.
