Letters are being sent to all households by North Lanarkshire Council, informing residents about changes to household bin services, which come into effect from October.

The letters will delivered by 7 September.

There will be changes to the types of materials that can be recycled in each bin, as well as how often bins are collected, but every household will still receive a weekly collection and it will be the same collection day every week.

Later this month, a leaflet will be sent to households with full details of the changes to the waste and recycling service, along with a calendar setting out collection dates. New compostable liners will also be provided for food waste recycling.

Information roadshows are being held across North Lanarkshire where staff will be available to explain the changes and answer any questions from residents.
