Recycling collections: changes for people living in flats
Somerset Council is improving recycling collections for around 13,000 households living in flats and other communal buildings.
The new service will start from the end of March and will allow residents to recycle more materials from home.
Everyone affected will receive a leaflet explaining the changes and when they will begin.
Residents with communal recycling collections will soon be able to recycle a wider range of items, including:
- Plastic containers
- Tins and cans, foil
- Aerosols
- Glass bottles and jars
- Cartons
- Food waste
- Soft plastics such as plastic bags and wrappers
These upgrades are funded through the Government’s Simpler Recycling programme to ensure consistent recycling services across England.
