Help shape your future rubbish and recycling collections
We are asking for your views on potential changes to our rubbish and recycling collections that could see the borough’s weekly general rubbish and recycling collections change to be more in line with the majority of local authorities in the country.
Due to unprecedented financial pressures, new government legislation and our climate emergency goals, we have to change how we collect your rubbish and recycling, and we want to know how the potential changes would affect you.
We are running a consultation which outlines two options on how often your rubbish and recycling are collected and the potential change to wheeled bins for general rubbish.
We know you, subscribers of the Rubbish and Recycling newsletter, already do everything you can to reduce the amount of waste you produce, and recycle as much as you can.
These changes will have a greater impact on those who currently use their blue general rubbish bags for food waste, plastics, paper, card and other recyclable materials.
The consultation is open until 5 December 2022. To find out more and take the survey, visit our Engage website.
For help completing the survey online, call our customer services team on (0118) 974 6000 or visit one of the borough’s libraries. Help taking the online survey is available over the phone or in person, and paper and electronic copies (PDF format) are also available on request.
We want to hear from as many of you as possible. Your feedback will help shape your future rubbish and recycling collections.
